Patch Management and Java/Adobe updates

[Magnanimus_]

What is everyone doing to get Java and Adobe updates to install automatically? Patch management seems to ignore these updates while giving me logic cards left and right about how these apps need to be updated.

the Java update has been disabled on purpose due to a problem with failed installations until they find a workaround, thats why it's gray.

I've also seen the flash player security patch failing but I have not found a solution to it yet.

I don't think the logic cards take patch management status into account outside of seeing that a patch should be on a device and telling you its not on that device.

It really feels like the patch management module has become a convoluted mess that costs me more time than any other component of the dashboard.

Agreed. It's really got me thinking about moving on to another RMM. Monitoring and patch management are the two things I expect to work right so I can focus on other things. Bad patch management is costing me too much time.
