We're in the final stages of qualifying our Patch Manager installation. We have maxed out the automation server settings to increase performance for our remote sites and that is working well however we're hitting a hard limit for the number of concurrent tasks across the entire environment.

Example:
10 sites all execute tasks (i.e. WMI inventory, patching task)
Only 8 tasks appear in the Active Tasks
When one of the 8 tasks finishes a waiting task starts
We have maxed the management server "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" to 16, but this has not made a difference.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.
