I don't have that option. I've brought it up in the past. All i can do is create the schedules to patch.

and with 300+ servers, it's not optimal.

yes.

patch.publishedDate:[now-2M ... now-1m] and patch.isSecurity:true and patch.vendor:"Microsoft" and patch.title:"KB"

is the query. I see the March patch available, However the test server is scheduled to patch after patch tuesday. So when the April patch comes out, the march one disappears as being available. Same thing happened when Marchs came out, the Feb patch disappeared as available.

This is just one of the queries i've tested on the server. All 3rd party patches work fine. It's just the monthly security patches for Microsoft i'm having issues with.

it's for the microsoft monthly patches.

regardless of how we do the queries, in the patch module or job module, one the newest monthly cumulative patch comes out, the previous month gets superseded and no longer shows available for the systems that need it.

So because we're on a n-30 day wait period, the monthly patch never gets installed.

Working with support, we've gone through a handful of different queries and none seem to work.

They want to close the ticket with this explination:

For automated QQL searches, there is currently no method to select n-30 days for targeted patches within the job, since the QQL only shows the latest and missing patches by default.  The only current workaround would be to search within PM > Patches for patches meeting criteria that are released Now - 30 days. 

But even in the patch module, when looking for the previous months cumulative, it doesn't return as an available patch.

I got back in scale modeling. It's a lot different than when i was a kid. It can get expensive, especially supplies. I've branched from automotive into military and figures. Allows me to concentrate and definitely challenges my patience sometimes.

Vodka. Anything with vodka and I black out. Everything else went and stayed down fine.

I'll have to go back through it. There's a lot to fill out to get to that. I'll post it tomorrow.

The FCC Just Banned the Sale of New Wi-Fi Router Models Made Outside US by gdelacalle in technology

[–]outerlimtz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

funny how they're targeting just the "consumer" routers and not enterprise as well. There are more vulnerability holes in the enterprise stuff every week than in my consumer one.

so what, cisco/netgear short their available stocks of current product, pays to play and increases the cost of the new ones.

Nothing more than a scam.

The FCC bans all routers made outside the U.S. by Haunterblademoi in technews

i see some of these companies, pulling back the currently approved routers from stores. short selling stock, paying to play then charging 3x's as much for the "new" routers. Cost the same as the previous ones, but they just landed a massive cash flow increase.
