KB4018385: Your Office 2016 can crash.
What is the problem with KB4018385 update? The KB4018385 update is no longer available. It was removed because it causes Office 2016 to crash when you work with charts. Microsoft has not released a fix for this issue. Resolution: Uninstall the update with Desktop Central Microsoft recommends not to install this update. If installed in your network systems, then follow the steps to immediately uninstall the KB4018385 update using Desktop Central: 1. Navigate to Patch Management tab -> All Patches
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?
Application keeps re-installing

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.

Cumulative updates KB4103721 can brick your Windows 10 computers

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.
What happened to the April Cumulative for Windows 1709? (KB4093112)
Hello, Last weekend I saw that DC was nicely updated with all the latest April patches and I decided to wait until today to apply them. Last Friday - DC reported this patch was there and ready to be deployed: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/4093112/windows-10-update-kb4093112 A check of my WSUS server says the same and it still lists this patch as ready to apply to 4 machines However - today - DC has no sign of this patch. What is going on? Has it been pulled? Appreciate an update on what
New APD patch approval process
So i see we have some newer patch approval processes where you have test groups where you approve patches that have been tested in lower environments. So what happens when a patch is only required in prod? Say there is a third party patch that is only available in prod? Do those just not get approved? We have a largish number of configs so its not unforseable that a patch would not actually be in our dev environment. Most will but its not 1 to 1. So how do we deal with that scenario?

Issue: After installing the March 13, 2018, update for Word 2016 (KB4011730), you may not be able to open or save Word documents.

Automated Patch Deployment... no scheduler?
In build 10.0.205 which I have deployed to fix a different issue, you have removed the scheduler from automated patch deployment. Please advise how for example, can I patch a group of servers next week with the latest updates they will require? Previously I could scan and download the patches without deployment, then patch the servers separately in batches. I also do the same for workstations, where I patch 10% of our estate on any given day so as not to overload the bandwidth on any site, using

Desktop Central seems to frequently miss various Windows OS patches and updates
I've been using Desktop Central for about two years now. When I came onto my job, we were using a mix of WSUS and Desktop Central. I have since scrapped WSUS and stuck with Desktop Central for both 3rd party software installment as well as regular monthly Windows updates. Everything seemed to be going well as Desktop Central reported that all of our systems were up to date after I would run updates month by month. Then we had an environment scan with Nessus Vulnerability Scanner by a 3rd party security
Patching "The operation completed successfully" but system still listed as vulnerable
Hi, I've got several systems where the patch "307159 TU-017 Updates for Google Chrome (x64) (64.0.3282.186)" was deployed and appeared to work (the application is updated) -- the remarks field says "The operation completed successfully" but doesn't disappear and the machine remains listed as vulnerable. I have tried rescanning, rebooting the endpoint and rescanning, and updating the patch DB. It's not a huge problem because the machines are protected, but it does make my compliance reports inaccurate.
Windows update deployment error: The identities of the manifests are identical but their contents are different.
I have one system that needs a specific update however no matter how many times I try the update I get the error message: The identities of the manifests are identical but their contents are different. I was able to download the update manually and install it, however Desktop Central doesn't see the update as being installed. I even ran a patch scan afterwards. Any suggestions? Thanks -Kirk
all patches with http://software-download.microsoft.com/pr/Win10_1709_XXXX.ISO are failing
All patches that have "http://software-download.microsoft.com/pr/Win10_1709_xxxx.iso" location inside PMPatchLocation SQL table are failing with download.. looks like microsoft blocked direct downloads.. please fix it.. Also why is DC re downloading already present patches in repository? Also why patch for CHINESE Simplified 1079 Win10 is downloading english ISO?
Patch Severity Settings
Does the Patch Severity Settings get reset when we apply a patch to Desktop Central as we have it setup to our requirements but it keeps changing and I can't find anything within the audit log to indicate that someone has changed it from what we require.
KB installed but not found in "Installed Update Patches"

I have been noticing the last couple of weeks that DC is requiring reboots even though the computers show zero needed patches. Any ideas why?
Firefox 58.0 - Wrong patch is deployed!
Just a heads-up, there seems to be an issue with the latest Firefox patches (patch ID 307006 and 307008). The 32-bit update points to the 64-bit location path and vice versa. So if you deploy/approve these patches, you will very likely end up with a mess. Patch ID 307006 (32-bit) deploys the 64-bit version http://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/58.0/win64/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2058.0.exe Patch ID 307008 (64-bit) deploys the 32-bit version http://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/58.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2058.0.exe

Windows 10 Fall Creators update (1709) undeployable because of dependencies
I followed the instructions: https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/windows10-feature-packs.html#language I renamed the iso to the german name: 104980-Win10_1709_Gex64.iso And I placed it into the patch store of desktop central.
