Dependancies not being installed.
Good Afternoon, We have tried to install Windows KB4457144 (2018-9 Security Rollup for server 2008 R2) - ManageEngine patch ID: 25311 This patch has a dependency: KB3177467. If not installed installation can fail on 2008 R2 servers. This is not reflected in the patch database. Can that be corrected? This is a known issue in the patch release notes.
Latest Adobe Acrobat Reader DC patches are installed but still shown as missing
Hi everyone I have deployed the latest Adobe patches (e.g. patch ID 308097). All patches are successfully installed and I manually started a patch scan on the PCs, however, the patch is still shown under "Missing Patches". In the remarks it says "The operation completed successfully". The patch is definitely installed and the patch scan is current, yet it appears under missing patches on every single PC in our environment. Is anyone else seeing this? Thank you. Regards Stefan

Critical Privilege Escalation Flaw: The Windows Task Scheduler Zero Day Vulnerability
About the vulnerability: A security researcher with his twitter handle named SandboxEscaper on August 27 released the source code for exploiting a security bug in the Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC) interface used by Windows Task Scheduler.

How to disable Windows Update completely for use with Desktop Central
All, I am in the process of migrating away from WSUS and over to using Desktop Central to manage all the patches in my (very) small network. WSUS has been so-so - it worked - but required too much overhead than I have time for. Desktop Central on the other hand - requires very little setup and almost zero maintenance time. This past weekend - I stood up a new Windows 2016 server which is running great along with Desktop Central While I am very familiar with the usual WU GPO settings to get Windows
8hr Postpone Reboot
We are currently testing DC as replacement to our current patching nightmare and one of the common questions people ask me if they can postpone restarts in 8hour intervals. They know there is option for 15min/1hr/4hr but I guess they want 8hours as well.. would it be possible to request a future to have 8hours in that list as well? -Thank You

Enhancements in Automated Patch Deployment
To keep up with the cyber industry's security demands and requests from a few customers, ManageEngine's Patch Management module has undergone a few enhancements in the 'Automated Patch Deployment'(APD) functionality. We will shed light on what's new with the latest APD feature. What's new? The newly upgraded APD calls for an automated scan(instead of manually scheduled scan) as soon as the server synchronizes with the Patch Database. The missing patches are detected on each of the machines in accordance
Patching behavior of newly added Windows machines?
We're deep in our trial of Desktop Central. I'm seeing what I consider odd behavior on newly added windows machines. I add the DC client to a machine, and the first thing that happens is that for any applicable APD task, the machine goes into the "patching complete" state in APD no matter how many patches it has lined up. It then stays in that state until at least the next vulnerability DB update, and sometime after that runs patches. This can take up to almost a day unless I force the patches. Is

Desktop Central suddenly shows up 5 year old Patches ...
... that don't match as well. For more than 200 Systems! Installing those patches on a testsystem fails (See attached screenshot) For now, all systems are marked as highly vulnerable. So its not that easy to figure out the machines that are really highly vulnerable now. DC build is 10.0.236, restarted DC-Service, synced Patch database several times. Old patches remain after Patchscan of all Systems after syncing. Any Ideas?

Linux patch management not showing any updates
Hi I would like to know what the point of the Linux patch management feature is. I installed it on a Debian machine, but I never see any updates in ME DC, while my Linux system has some (and even important Apache security updates!) available. Does the patch management feature work exactly like on Windows machines? That is, it is showing all available updates for that machine? If so, there another issue is causing the updates not to show up in my ME interface.

best practices for Patching Windows Servers on a schedule using the new APD features
So i am trying to figure out what changes have been made to APD since .192 and how that effects my managed devices. My struggle here is we do not patch in mass. Instead we have a specific schedule for each device which has been arranged and agreed upon by Operations and the applicaiton owner. Schedule looks like this. Custom group A patches from midnight to 6 Am on Patch Tue +7 Days. Custom Group B patches at Midnight to 6AM on Patch Tue +12 Days typicly what i have done is on the monday before
How is every one else utilizing the new APD policies?
My requirements isnt that we patch on just a certain day of the week like a Saturday but it be a specific Saturday. Think of it Patch Tue + 11. With the new option of deploy patches X amount of days past approval i thought i would be able to achieve this by the below config Job is set to deploy patches 9 days after approval. Below is the deployment settings. Since timing of Weeks is based on the 1st of the month I have no way to predict via automation which week the Patch Tue +11 is going to fall

Patch Clean up for old patches
I have my patch cleanup to remove old patches that not missing. But the issue with this is I have some servers that show missing patches but we are not patching these pc's. But since it shows patches missing these missing patches seem to not get removed from the patch store. Before I migrated to the new APD I would have it so my servers would not scan as they were set to be excluded from the APD. But now that scan is happening automatically these servers are getting scanned for missing patches.
