How to Manage Pending and Rejected Updates💡

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:06:29 +0000

When you deny a patch it doesn't just disappear, it lands in either the Pending or Rejected section of the Patch Status Page based on your policy settings.

Here’s how it works:
✔️ Reject and Hide means patches denied under this rule go to Rejected and won’t be installed.
✔️ Skip and Review means these updates land in Pending, allowing you to reassess them later.

If a patch policy is tagged to an organization, the Patch Status Page will show the associated number of pending or rejected updates. You can quickly check a KB article to determine if the patch is necessary and take action: Approve it, Reject it, Return it to pending or Apply it as a global rule.

Your changes will take effect in the next patch cycle, giving you full control and visibility over your patching process.

Run a Script

Currently Rules only allow you to run a Scheduled Task on demand. It would be nice to just be able to run a script, like batch or powershell, instead of having to create a Sched Task that runs that script.

We have several processes which restart at the same time each day (middle of the night). Is there a way to prevent alerts during these periods?
