Please change the way you publish the "Read Me" for Service Packs.

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.

I was looking in the logs folder and started to go through a few, but like SCCM there are quite a few dozen logs on a machine. Which logs are the most important to look
