Currently, I am in the process of catching the machines up on updates. Since i've took over this position, it's been a very slow process.

Due to a majority of our sites having very low bandwidth, we've opted to switch to manual pushes instead of automatic deployments. Mainly due to the fact that automated deployments grab all approved patches and push them all at once.

What i want to do is create groups of deployments for patches, IE: Monthly security updates, Office updates, etc. Reasoning behind this is, some sites are fully patches and others are lagging behind. 

I want a more granular control over the patching process that I can automate with what i want/need to push at that moment instead of all the back patches included. 

Is there a way to accomplish this or could it be looked into to add as an option when creating automatic deployments to include only certian patches or groups of patches?
