Option to Apply Patches at Shutdown...Should only Perform actions if patches are required

Craig Wilson

Currently, if ZPM is configured to apply patches at shutdown....It will always perform a scan. The result is that EVERY SINGLE reboot and Shutdown will have a noticeable delay, even when no patches need to be applied. It would be great if we could…

Let the customer decide whether to use the patch or not.

wencheng

After switching to Advacned ZPM, I found that it provides some settings to allow relevant clients to apply the latest Patch. This method can quickly scan and allow customers to apply the latest Patch. This is good, but it may not be in line with the customer…

Report on unpatched CVEs in "Known Exploited Vulnerability (KEV) catalog"

Andy Konecny

Utilize the CISA's KEV catalogue (or similar) https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities to highlight and priorities unpatched CVEs that are being actively exploited vs just because they might be exploited some day. We can't just reboot any…

Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - Critical rather than a software installer

Spencer Caplin

Hi Can you make Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool a Critical Patch rather than a software installer. As have to manually deploy this every time it comes out and can't get it to be auto added to a patch policy. I know I can add it as a "member…

Track quarantined patches with ZRS or Dashboard filter

luckoba

Whenever multiple patch policies are used, the interdependent patches may fail to install and after several attempts will be quarantined. Currently the quarantined patches are not reported to ZCC and can only be discovered by analyzing Zen agent logs…

When a new patch applies for Patch Policy automatically recalculate patch policy from rules

GaborK

I often find when new patch have been released, my patch policy still has a few days until recalculates. This delays the patches installing within the recommended (ASAP!) 2weeks period. It would be nice to have a feature when a new uncached-patch applies…

Filter Patch Dashlet based on Patch Policy insted of single Patches

marcohald

It would be useful if we cannot only select the patches but instead select a Patch policy, so that the Dashlet will regenerate every Time the Patch Policy has changed. This would be extremely useful for tracking the Installation of patches on Test De…

Option to prompt user only when updates will be installed

dbriese

Currently we can only configure prompts globally for the enforcement of all patch policies. That means that even if the enforcement of a patch policy results in no patches needed the user is still prompted for installation. What some of our customers…

Patch Policy Pre-Install Behavior Notification

nkaihoi

Patch Policy Pre-Install Notification should check if there are patches to be installed before displaying notification. It seems odd that when a patch policy pre-install notification is enabled it displays regardless if there are patches to be applied…

More flexible recalculate schedule for Patch policies

MigrationDeletedUser

Currently, I can only specify the interval (in days) for Patch policy recalculation. For example, I can recalculate a policy after every 30 days, 15 days, etc. I want a more flexible schedule, similar to the Patch policy enforcement and distribution schedules…

patch policy rule for patch age value should not be a dropdown list with partly unusable vaules

martin_klim_gls

In a patch policy you can create a rule for the age of the patch. Currently it's a dropdown with the values 0|7|14|30|90 days or 1 year. It would be more flexible if the age could be entered manually.

Wake on Lan in Patch Policy

MigrationDeletedUser

I would like to see a WOL option in the Patch Policy so that we can wake up the PC’s late at night to deploy the scheduled patches. As a government entity, we try and conserve electric. All PC are powered down at the end of the day.
