  • I really think this would be a great feature. In our environment we have several applications that for one reason or another need to be shutdown before a system reboot. It would be extremely helpful if a job with a batch of patches/updates was sent to a machine could do pre and post operations. In my case, I would want to…

  • They will be, but the catch is that the primary consumers of these print devices are Citrix users with RES (user desktop, printer and environment management suite) running on top of the Citrix server to provide the access. So the layout is as such: User\Terminal Server (citrix) session\RES\Print Server. The way RES works…

  • Yeah, I guess the problem I'm really having is that we are behind in patches so in the scenario of KB2949927, the superseded patches were not currently installed. So when MS pulled 2949927, it did not re-elevate all the patches that it superseded. So if you are only releasing based on the supersedence column and only…

  • Lawrence, Thanks for the the reply and information. Specifically, my challenge is that I want to mass install print drivers such as for Canon copiers. In many instances a particular driver will cover several models of copiers. Almost like a pseudo universal driver. So in these cases putting a deployment package together is…

  • Lawrence, Thanks for your reply. It's unfortunate that there's no simple way to do pre/post tasks prior to a batch of patches going out, it would be a helpful feature IMHO. As to your advise, they way I read this is that the running of the tasks you mentioned are a manual process? That's certainly something I have to avoid…

  • KMSigma, Thanks for taking the time to give me your thoughts. I do realize I gave very little information about the environment but wasn't exactly sure what would be relevant. My question regarding GPO's was too vague I see now. What I meant to ask is, do most of you have WSUS settings that allow the client wsus agent to…

  • Thanks for the write up, I was looking for something like this. Question, does this method pick up new machines added to groups? Or once you put this schedule in place the list is static? Edit: I now see that you can use the "Select computers using rules" tab and pick an OU, WSUS group, or a Patch Manager group to run the…
