Patching server on different domain

[SFMartin]

I have batchpatch running on a server joined to one domain and require to patch a few servers we have running on a different domain. Even though i am able to specify the alternate logon credentials, i still get errors when trying to perform actions like check for available updates i batchpatch.

The error i get is:

Windows Update: The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship.

Anyone here who is able to install updates on servers that are on another domain than the batchpatch server itself ?

Thanks

BatchPatch works fine in a cross-domain cross-forest config. We use it like that all the time. The error you are receiving is not a BatchPatch error per se. It’s from Windows (being passed through by BatchPatch). It could be something with your domain controller config or DNS or SPNs or forest trust relationship etc. It has nothing to do with BatchPatch. I would suggest you review the various suggestions/fixes/resolutions described by people in forums on the web:
