    Has anybody tried to run this on an ITMS 7.5 install?  Does anybody know if maybe some updated tools like these exist for 7.5?

    I don't think anybody has tested or fixed these to work with 7.5

    What exactly do you need to do?

    There maybe some new 7.1 or 7.5 functionality available compare to 6.x

    I have approximately 4000 packages that need to have assignment changed from "Package servers automatically with manual prestaging" to "All Package Servers".

    Hi dgott20,

    In case these 4000 packages are owned by Patch Management Solution, you may try to change the assignment using the functionality provided on Policy and Package Settings located @

    Settings -> Software -> Patch Management -> Windows Settings -> Windows Patch Remediation Settings

    I did change these settings to what I want them to default to going forward but this doesn't go back and change all of the packages that have already been created.

    Enable the "Relocate the downloaded packages if Software Update package location on Core Services page has changed" otpion within the "Manage > Jobs and Tasks > System Jobs and Tasks > Software > Patch Management > Check Software Update Package Integrity" task, and then run that task.

    That will take care of the update packages; however, you still need a method to modify large numbers of normal software packages.
