Automatically disable patch after specified number of failed attempts

This doesn’t happen too frequently, thankfully, but when it does it can be very frustrating for end users.

A patch that requires a reboot fails to install so Automox tries again on the next scheduled run. As I find I have to run schedules often to keep up with the number of patches, this can mean that a user has to reboot every day.

What I’d like is the ability to disable a patch after a number of failed attempts so that this doesn’t happen. I’d also like to be notified about this so that we can investigate the cause.

As we get too many failure notifications we’ve actually turned these off for now anyway.

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on this?

Thanks
