OS patch deployment errors handling

Hi all!

I've tried to search into kb and support forum but I can't find the answer.

If there is documentation about this I would ask you to link it.

I am interested in Remote Management service but I would like to know how the user can handle any errors triggered by the deployment of os updates launched through the remote management feature.
And if any Windows update/patch requires user input how is it notified into Remote Management console section?

Thanks all!

    Hi @giorgiolun,

    There are some patches we cannot deploy remotely, for example where user input is required, but we do still notify you that they are missing in the UI so they be deployed from the device.

    Also you are correct, currently patch deployment history isn't available in the user interface and is currently only visible via reports, however, the team are working on also making this visible in the coming months so you can expect to see it there in the near future.

    Any other questions please don't hesitate to reach out,

    Thank you very much, unfortunately I did not find an answer to my specific questions.
    Reading this article

    I have another doubt:
    the patch deployment results do not show up on the console but only in a detailed report via email?

    Thankyou!

    So the updates that requires user input can't be remotely launched and those that requires a system reboot?

    And if a remotely launched update can't be completed due to seme errors, I can know about the errors on the email report?

    Thanks

    Hi all!

    Someone can answers to these doubts?

    Assuming that the updates that requires user input can't be remotely launched, is the same for updates that requires system reboot?

    If a remote launched update can't be completed due to some errors or any inconvenice, I will know about the errors/fails on the email report?

    Thanks
