We were building Patch Manager groups for testing patches but found out that even though we selected multiple OUs it would only add the first one. How is this suppose to work?
This is a fundamental limitation of the way in which Patch Manager implements the use of that dialog. While the dialog, itself, does support multi-selection, our call to that dialog is only designed to work with one object at a time. This will require multiple invocations of the "Add computers using rules" dialog to define multiple orgUnits in a Patch Manager Computer Group.
Is there a fix for this limitation slated for a future release? Just out of curiosity.
I am not aware of anything currently in the agenda, but I will submit a Feature Request to the Product Manager.
This is a manifestation of the creation of Patch Manager Computer Groups in a later revision of the product. Prior to that time, a task was explicitly restricted to being targeted to a single container (Domain, Workgroup, OrgUnit), so that's how the call to that dialog was implemented. Subsequently we added Patch Manager Computer Groups, which is the only entity in the entire product that allows the definition of multiple domains, workgroups, or orgUnits.
