Patch Management Reboot Schedule
I'm looking for a way to schedule a reboot from patch management, I can only see an option to force a shutdown immediately, do not disturb if logged in or allow users to postpone. None of these options are what I require. From what I understand you can only schedule a forced reboot from the "Tools" menu, which takes me away from the patch management section which conveniently shows me all devices that need a reboot. There is a lot of manual work involved with the way this is currently setup as I

Installing missing patches during deployment.
Hi Although applications can be installed automatically after an OS deployment, it should also be possible to automatically apply approved patches. At present the deployment process is slow and/or disjointed.

We therefore have to go to Inventory->Computers, find the new PCs to initiate a patch scan, waiting for it to complete, then

Patch Management Automate Deployment Suspend Issues
I have two groups for automated deployment. As i rebuild our patch management process, schedules and groups change. Problem I am having is that if I change say the days a task is set to go off on, or change the time frame. Once it's saved, the task is no longer in suspended mode and it starts pushing what updates it has right away. Is there a way to keep a task in suspend mode until it is manually unsuspened? Over the course of the next few months, I will be slowly patching and updating machines.
