  • I would love to see an update task be able to patch + reboot a target until the Needed count was zero. There's never a good way to know how many reboots a given approved patch list will take on each target, and the only way to do that now is to schedule a patch + reboot task against the target every hour for an estimated…

  • I agree whole-heartedly! I have certain node types whose details include UNDPs, and should have unique resources in their detail and/or group view. Specific SMTP email servers for example, where you would like the details to include message latency, queue sizes, etc., but these metrics have no meaning for non-SMTP nodes…

  • Agreed. It's nice that the functionality exists somewhere, but it really does need to be included in the immediate editing commands during a template-editing session.

  • stcain - Actually PM does allow you to schedule updates like this -- I use 'em all the time -- but it has some caveats. You can certainly schedule a patch action beginning at date/time x to date y, and/or for n iterations. This is in the properties of any action you take against a machine, as almost any action can be…

  • Sorry: found it. The tables 'dbo.ContainerStatus_Daily' or 'dbo.ContainerStatus_Detail' column PercentAvailability data is still an integer. <heavy sigh>

  • Can anyone say if this issue is still present as of today (Jan 25, 2016)? Are the availability stats recorded as floats now, or are they still integers?

  • Richard - Thanks much for the reply: that gives me some things to check on and ponder, and I'll certainly be doing that. I may even try setting up a test environment to see the results. Let me add a couple of items to the question that might help frame the question better. Aside from performance, I'd also like to be able…

  • vdubn - Thank much for these examples: I will definitely use them and extensions of them once the Patch Manager data issue has been fixed. Let me explain: At my work place we review new patches for applicability and content before approving them for specific computer groups. In short, we only deploy approve patches to any…
    in Does Anyone Know Where I Can Find Orion / PM SQL Query Code? Comment by clarsen April 2015
  • Hi There: Not sure which reports you've tried to edit, but in the spirit of mentioning the simplest thing first, have you tried modifying the "return" lines option to "Exclude duplicate rows" vs "All rows"? It's in the upper left-hand corner of your row selection when editing a report. This should allow you to run certain…
    in Need SPM Report - Installed software count w/ computer name Comment by clarsen April 2015
  • Hey Wesleyhey: There are two things to note about the WSUS information vs. what you see in PM: 1) Most importantly, you need to schedule an Inventory task for the given WSUS server (and every WSUS server you use). Now I myself thought it was "inventory" as in asset mgt, and I didn't set mine up right away, so I didn't see…
