Damsonuk Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Patch management for windows servers Although windows updates can be installed through Pulseway this is a manual process.Is there a patch management module for this?We could approve important/critical updates on certain servers to be automatically installed on a specific day.Also notifications to let us know updates have been installed and a reboot is required.

Staff Chris Posted November 5, 2015 Staff Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Hi,This is not yet supported by Pulseway, patch management is something we want to get in the future, no immediate plans though.Chris Edited November 5, 2015 by Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A N T Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hi, I have just started a trial of Pulseway and really liking it. I imagine we are going to have between 200 - 300 managed computers / servers. Manually patching without full patch management is going to get boring fast.

Martin Stevnhoved Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi Ant. We are doing patch management via normal Windows Updates on clients, and via scripts in Scheduled Tasks on server. It is working great, we are not notified of missing updates. Pulseway can notify when a critical update is missing, but we would like to put a threshold on it, first notify after X days. So we have made this feature request: http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/1443-windows-updates-can-we-ignore-the-last-x-days/ You can give it a +1 if you like the idea. Br, Martin.

A N T Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hi Martin, I have been doing some testing using the Pulseway integration into Windows Update and picking on random servers in the evening and it has patched all without fail. This really does work well, but could be quite a chore when we roll our from testing to production on a few hundred machines. Would you be kind enough to share your script you are using with Scheduled Tasks? Kr, Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Stevnhoved Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hi. Here is the script to install updates. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa387102(v=vs.85).aspx It is possible to update the script with you own logic and policies. You could also look at https://www.wuinstall.com/ Br, Martin. A N T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed S Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 +1 for outstanding patch management w/ scheduling - updating other programs would be good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris Posted January 8, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 8, 2016 There is a way to update third party applications with Pulseway: Ninite One Pro plugin. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCPro Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Having a delay is critical to this capability as I get hammered with notifications on Patch Tuesday. Being able to delay notifications for a few days after Patch Tuesday at a minimum is highly desireable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
