How to only install updates that are at least 30 days old?

[SamelCamel]

Does anyone know how to install updates a month behind? I don’t want to install the latest and greatest. I want to keep my updates at least 30 days behind in case there are any issues with the newest updates.

Thank you,

SamelCamel – BatchPatch does not have an option to limit updates by date. That said, in order to accomplish this you would have to use BatchPatch to only install specific updates, as described below. You would first decide which updates to install, and then you would set your installation list to install only the updates that you have decided you want to install based on your determination of which are old enough and which are too new, instead of installing all updates:

Yikes! I would think that this option would be pretty important to anyone who wants to use BatchPatch in an Enterprise environment. Maybe if all listed updates had a published date field, you could sort based off of date published and it would make it simpler to sort?

SamelCamel – Enterprise environments are typically using something like WSUS to control which updates are approved for their computers, so it’s not really an issue. However, we will definitely consider adding a date filter to BatchPatch.

Adding a date filter would be great for our business, Doug. I appreciate your work and I own the product with two year support.

Thanks again,

SamelCamel – The date filter has already been coded in the next release, which will be published some time in the next handful of weeks.

Thanks,
