Mac – Disable Chrome Auto Updates

Method 1

On Mac, you can go to “Users > Your Mac Drive > Library > Google > GoogleSoftwareUpdate” and rename this folder.

Method 2

Open Finder and go to “Applications” folder.

Right click or control + click on the Google Chrome folder and go to “Show Packaged Content”.

Click “Contents” folder and open “Info.plist” file. Remember you need to have editors like Xcode to open plist file. Also you should have write permission for both “Contents” folder and “Info.plist” file to edit.

Look for “KSUpdateURL” key. In our case this is pointing to “https://tools.google.com/service/update2”.

Simply rename the file to something else and save your changes.

VLC Player fails the CMMAC creation process using the CMAppUtil.

CMMAC Error

Creating Cmmac file for /Volumes/VLC media player/VLC.app
2019-09-19 19:59:44.417 CMAppUtil[1948:88903] Reading /var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n0000000000000/T/VLC.app/Contents/Info.plist file failed with error The file “Info.plist” couldn’t be opened using text encoding Unicode (UTF-8)..
2019-09-19 19:59:44.418 CMAppUtil[1948:88903] ParseDirectory failed with 80004005.

Why?

It’s a bug in the vendor’s plist, or, more likely, the plist has been saved in binary format, when it should be Unicode (UTF-8) XML for SCCM. It definitely was not tested with the CMAppUtil CMMAC process.

Solution

* this does assume you have some basic packaging knowledge

Install VLC using the DMG.

Using Packages, create a PKG file, using the VLC.app as a resource file.

When you open Packages, VLC.app will go under Payload > Applications.

Build the package.

Attempt the CCMMac process again using the PKG file you just created.

Great success!

 Notes

Create Mac computer applications with System Center Configuration Manager

What is a plist?

Converting plists

* the plutil app is native to Mac OS X, and is included when iTunes is installed on Windows.

plutil -convert xml1 binary.plist
plutil -convert binary1 XML.plist

Launch Windows 10 Store App from command line.

This is how you would link two SCCM packages that have different security contexts (Admin and Current User), allowing you to create an installation process that works in admin mode, but also can access the Current User environmental variables.

This is not an uncommon scenario. I just don’t think everyone realizes they can tackle this problem using SCCM’s built-in features. Thank you, Microsoft, for this option.

Steps

Step 1

Create Package #1 with Current User security context

Step 2

Create Package #2 with Admin (System Account) security context

Step 3

Navigate to CM Console > Overview > Application Management > Packages

Step 4

Select Package #1 (in most cases, the first package will be the Current User security context)

Step 5

In the lower pane, select the Programs tab, and then Program and its Properties

Step 6

Select the Advanced tab.

Check Run another program first. Browse to Package #2.

Check Always run this program first. Click OK.

Step 7

Deploy Package #1, just like you would any other package.

On the Workstation

Now, two components will download and install on the workstation—each in the specified security context.
