New to Patch Manager and Thwack. Hello everyone.
We just purchased PM to use along side of ConfigMgr 2012 and in the past, to update Java or Flash, I would write a script to push out to machines that would prompt the user to close IE and it would then continue with the update. I'm excited to start using PM but in testing, I noticed that both Java and Flash upgrades force IE to close without notice before the update is installed. How are people dealing with updates that require/force IE (or another app) to close? Are you using a custom Package Boot for it to run a script beforehand that prompts the user? Is that the recommended way to handle updates that require action before installing? Most of the Package Boot Editor seems pretty self explanatory but if there is a write-up for tips and tricks on the best way to use that, I'd be interested if you could send me a link.
Note: I thought about using maintenance windows so that those updates would only install in the middle of the night and wouldn't impact the user but a lot of people shut down their computers at night so that's not ideal.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
James
