We need to make reports to show to auditor all vm were patched

Wasn’t happy with UK South using an Action Pack subscription.

Doing a PoC of this but I’m getting an error when I try to query the logs with any query and I’ve tried a few (screenshot – https://pasteboard.co/IQnc0v9.jpg). Don’t know if this functionality would work with Azure VMs but I’m doing on-prem. Assume these logs would be required to troubleshoot errors with VMs that do not patch. Have you seen this or have any ideas? Thanks, Guy.

Interesting, I haven’t seen those issues yet.

Parallel patching fails. No exact failed results

This is a server solution not a client update solution.

It is still poorly documented without clear advantages of integrating it with SCCM versus not integrating.
Still need to have ability of updating/reverting 3-rd party apps like Abode Flash, Reader, Java etc.
Also needs better scheduling and targeting to be apar with SCCM.
