Hi Community!

Have you tried any of the 10 plug-and-play patch policy recommendations from AXU’s Automation Maturity Playbook?

This playbook contains ten essential patch policies to advance your endpoint management. The automations are effective in streamlining processes and enabling them will skyrocket you to a higher level of maturity in your endpoint management journey.

 

We’d love to hear from you!
  • Which policy from the playbook has been the most impactful? Why?
  • If you haven’t explored them yet, is there a manual task you're thinking about automating using one of these policies?

 

We recently rolled out the Windows Service Stack and Security Definition Updates policies! They have been amazing at keeping the easy stuff always moving!


I’ve set them all up and love it. 

 

OS Specific, Web Browser, Third-Party, Windows Servicing Stack, Security Definition Updates, and Office 365.

 

Impact for me has been

  • Easier to find problem patches by tracking them under Policy Results Report
  • Predictable patching schedules
  • Patch policy looks good in the Activity Log for two reasons
    • Less patches installed per policy
    • Failure output in the logs seems more accurate

 

Recommend updating the training --

Remove the ?=ORG-ID from the links in the training. Without that part of the URL, with a person logged into the console, it works way better. 


It’s great to hear that these policies have kept things organized and moving along nicely. And thanks so much for the feedback on the urls @jack.smith!
