  • 1.  PMI has not delivered patches after 14-011

    Posted Apr 02, 2014 05:05 PM

    Using Altiris NS 6.0.6074 SP3-R12

    Microsoft Patch Management Import - History says that import succeeded on 4/1/2014

    Download QChain Hisory says that is completed on 4/2/2014 but result was "not modified"

    The folder containing all the Updates does not have anything since 14-011.

    Global Settings - Download Software Updates:  History says it completed on 4/1/2014.

    After years of staging and deploying patches, I am completely stalled.  What do I need to do?

    PMS 6.x was EOL'd last month, so no more development, sorry.

    You will either need to use SWD, migrate to 7.5 or use a different patch vendor.

    and in addition if they are using windows XP.. they need to pay for the additional support which we are doing and then deploy them via SWD too even in 7.1 or 7.5 so just pointing out that upgrading may still not solve it totally...
