InstaUp2Date is trying to get updates but not the same one as Software Update.app uses. Those are always machine-specific and for imaging you should (almost) never use them. Rather it is looking to go out and use the updates that you can get to throuh http://support.apple.com.

Proxys are a really tough thing to program for, since most of us don’t have them (including the programmers), and every one of them has its own quirks. If you can get the python urllib2 working with your proxy, then you can probably get InstaUp2Date to work there too. Otherwise, not so much.

That is not fixing the problem, that is (near litteraly) killing the messenger. The User Notification Center is used by a number of backgroun processes to… well… notify the user of things that they probably need to know. You have just killed that communication channel.

There is a reason you are getting this message, and you should figure it out, not ignore it.

Hey Confusion,

Really, especially since your on a deadline, downloading the files manually and placing them in the Caches/InstaUp2DateCache will make it so the network never gets hit when InstaUp2Date runs.
There is one other thing you could try as well:

Let us know,

Wow Confusion, we totally didn’t read your description of the original issue closely enough! Sorry about that. In a thread that it seems you might have contributed to,
[url]https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3458072?start=0&tstart=0[/url]
people seem to be discussing various issues without confirming they’re experiencing the same symptoms(specific logged errors). If you had asked your network admins and they say there are no proxy authentication settings necessary to deploy(which you should be able to set with a script leveraging this: [code]networksetup -setwebproxy networkservice domain portnumber authenticated username password[/code]
Depending on what ALL of your logs say at the time alerts are shown, other factors may be in play, I’d recommend posting to wider read lists like macenterprise [url]http://groups.google.com/group/macenterprise/[/url]
Sorry that I don’t have direct knowledge from having run in to this issue. Good luck! Allister

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Confusion[/u][p]Thanks for the help allister i really appreciate it.
I have tried joining the macenterprise group numerous time and have emailed the group owner to get membership but it never gets granted so all i can do is read them.
I have just sent off another request[/p][/QUOTE]

You cannot join the MacEnterprise [b]Google Group[/b]; it is a read-only archive of MacEnterprise mail list messages.

You [b]CAN[/b] join the MacEnterprise [b]mailing list[/b], and the link to do so is at the bottom of every single message to the list.
