I am trying to manually kick off patches using AexPatchUtil.exe /C /I /Xa but am having issues. It starts the SoftwareUpdateCycle fine, but then the PatchMgmtAgents.dll sporadically returns "Ignoring update schedule - updates cannot be applied whilst in this state" and quits. If I keep retrying the command it eventually will successfully start the patch update cycle.
Anyone know what this means? Or even better how to prevent this from happening? Any help/suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brent
I'm just starting to learn patch management, but it looks like the client side tasks is very limiting. For instance, you can't override maintenance windows on the client level, but instead must do so on the policy level. Also, you can kick off patches using AeXPatchUtil, but you have no way of monitoring when the patch cycle is done, if it ran into an error, etc without parsing the logs....
