But would like to know what others have been practising. What do you do guys do?

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

Patching and Completion Notification

Hello, I would like to notify end users once their patching is completed so that they know if it is okay to shut down their device.If a device is shut down, logged out, or put in sleep mode, the patching will fail. I’ve noticed this multiple times with testing on different devices. There is no real way for an end user to know when their patches have been updated. Furthermore, on Automox I am able to see each “Device Status” as “Refreshing” when updates are being conducted, and “Ready” once they are complete.I would like confirmation that Refreshing = Patching. With that wording it is a little confusing.I have ran manual patches on certain devices that will begin “refreshing” and after completion, they will turn to the “ready” state. Although I will still see the same patches needing an update in the “Software” section of the device. Does anyone know why this is happening? It is as if the patch runs and after completion nothing actually happened with those items that needed to be patche

Worklet? Crowdstrike Uninstall to Move Asset to another Crowdstrike Console

We’ve just set up 2 extra Crowdstrike consoles to allow segregation of assets and users. However, I’m struggling to find a way to move these assets in bulk, as I need to uninstall the sensor on each asset, and then reinstall with a different Customer ID. Does anyone think this would be possible via a couple of worklets? Otherwise I’m looking at a huge manual job… Thanks!

Incorrect Machine Restart States

Hi there,I’ve been experiencing an issue on certain clients where the Automox device section states “Reboot Required” even when a reboot has been administered, in some cases multiple times. I’ve tried manually restarting, restarting from the Automox client, CLI restarts, etc. The message is persistent. This seems to only apply to macOS devices. Any ideas?Best,Dane

Disable ALL reboots on Servers unless done so via restart worklet

There are a few servers that we do not want to restart at any time, unless done manually by our application teams.The policy assigned to devices has "Do not enable automatic restart after updates are installed" however, these servers do reboot overnight an hour or so after updates are installed. From talking to support Automox cannot stop all reboots. Has anyone from the community found a relaible GPO/Scripit or anything that can prevent restarts completely on servers? Process we are aiming for: 2nd Wednesday of the week at 11PM install all updates.2nd Thursday of the week at 6AM restart via worklet if restart is required. Currently, the restart can happen anytime after updates are installed, so i’d like the policy/script to prevent that, so that the server only restarts when the worklet is ran.
