What We're Working On [WWWO] for Patch Manager beyond 2.0...

To receive updates on the Patch Manager roadmap, JOIN thwack and BOOKMARK this page.

We recently released Patch Manager 2.0, which included support for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1. We're now working on simplifying the interface and making the Patch Administrator's time more efficient. We're also working on other ease of use enhancements such as:

• Automatically Download and Publish Third Party Patches
• Updating with some new Reports
  • Installed Programs and Feature Basic - Without Microsoft Programs
  • Approved Update Status Counts by Update Server & Source
  • Computer Update Status - Locally Published Updates
  • Computer Update Status - Count by Status
  • Counts by Classification for Approval by Not Installed
  • Computer Update Status - Approved Updates (Deployment Ready)
  • …others
• Extending computer Scoping to utilize IP Subnets, Actrive Directory Sites, and Organizational Units
• Displaying New Patch Updates via the Orion Notification Bar
• Enhancing the Support Logging Process
• …plus much, much more.

PLEASE NOTE: We are working on these items based on this priority order, but this is NOT a commitment that all of these enhancements will make the next release.  We are working on a number of other smaller features in parallel. If you have comments or questions on any of these items (e.g. how would it work?) or would like to be included in a preview demo, please let us know!
