Patching Machines that come in and out of our network.
We have a large number of laptop users. They are based in our HQ and branch office which are connected via VPN(we don't use a distro server, all our patched from our main ofc) in both locations they take their laptops home nights, weekends, etc. One of my sys admins did some experimenting and was unable to get remote AND local patching to work correctly at the same time.

Why are the systems showing as failed when it either A doesn't need a specific patch that was applied or B already has the specific patch that was applied. Pretty misleading descriptions. The machines should show as succeeded.

Desktop Central patching
Is there a way to see if Desktop Central is actively patching a machine. IE patches in progress. I know you can go in to the device in the desktop central portal and see patch notes to see which patches are missing etc. but I can't seem to find a way to see if it is actively patching the machine. Is there a process on the local machine that desktop central starts when it is downloading/installing patches or something like that I could use to see if it is currently patching the machine?

MEDC always directly installs Windows Security Updates and freezes workstation
Hi, we are currently testing MEDC - everything works fine, the support also helped a lot for some major custom deploy packages. However, Testusers report, that Windows Updates are beeing installed automatically and they are beeing confronted with either a similar message to WSUS from the agent saying: Software Updates have been installed restart in ... or immediately.

Updates are shown as needed by DC, but not in WSUS
Hello everybody, we have got an issue with DC. First to say, we use DC to rollout only third party patches with Patch Management, Microsoft updates are deployed by WSUS. Now, in DC, there are several Microsoft updates shown as needed on nearly all our Desktops, which nether WSUS shows as required nor a Update directly from Microsoft let them show up. Could this be a false positive? KB numbers are as following: KB3127958, KB3191855, KB4012864 (this ones for Windows 7 Embedded, we only have W7 Pro
Staggering Reboots After Patching
Hello, Quite simply, I remember there was a way years ago when I worked with Desktop Central. That you could stagger reboots of Servers after being patched.

Senerio: 1) Patched a whole load of machines 2) I want to only reboot a max 10 or so at a time. Doable? Regards, Jesse Moore

missing patch?
I'm having trouble understanding why a certain patch isn't applicable. I can see MS17-010 in the patch database. However, when I look at its list of affected OS's its different than what is shown on MS: https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms17-010?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 Is there any reason for the different information between your system and the actual security bulletin? At this point I have no idea if my systems are covered or not.

Why are many important/critical Windows patches automatically listed as Not Approved?
Hi, I'm not exactly new to ME but I never really got training on it. I just came onto a job that had it and I've been learning to use it by myself for the last year or so. I am a little confused about a few things, in particular, how patches are chosen to be approved or not approved. For example here, I went to All Patches and sorted by approval status and I see that a lot of critical patches are listed as not approved. Why is that? Wouldn't any and all critical patches be approved? I obviously don't

Replacement of "current" patches by Desktop Central
I have the following problem: I run patch tasks per APD once per month: 1x for testgroup and 2 weeks later 1x for all productive systems when no errors occured. My problem: Last week I deployed the latest Chrome version to my testgroup. Now I see that few days later Desktop Central has replaced this version I was just testing and which I want to go "live" next week. This is now impossible for me. Could you maybe keep the last 1-2 versions/patches of a program in the patch management? You now provide

Linux patch management and software
Hello, I tried to use the Linux Client of Desktop Central for some Debian (Jessie, stable) workstations in the network. There are several things which seem very strange to me: 1. When installing patches, DC suggests me Debian patches from Backports. Where can I disable that? In this case it was an update of libgcrypt20 1.6.3+deb8u2 to 1.7.6-1~bpo8+1. 2. Where is DC getting the Debian package updates from? It seems that it doesn't use the package sources as configured in the client. How can I use
Skip downloading patches for computers excluded in the APD
I was wondering if there was a way to not download patches for computer in the APD that are marked as excluded. I have our APD set to exclude our servers since we don't want them patching. But I noticed that in the downloaded patches we have it set to remove patches after 3 months and not missing option. That works fine except that it has downloaded patches from 10 months ago since we don't patch servers they got scanned upon initial agent installation but have not been patched. Thus it downloaded
