Schedule Job Queue instead of Task scheduler options

[jwiseguy]

Hi Doug,

Best wishes and a happy new year for 2015!!

We have a received a evaluation version of BatchPatch and doing some tests. We add some hosts and we want to schedule a job for installing Windows Updates. Batch Patch do have a schedule option but the choices are different if u are using the Job Queue.

Is it possible to schedule a Job Queue?

Regards,

Wiseguy

Wiseguy – The current version of BatchPatch allows you to execute a job queue in the following way:

1. Create a job queue for a given row or rows and then select the “apply queue to row(s) without executing” button. This will apply the specified job queue settings to a particular set of rows that you have selected.

2. Then go ahead and schedule a task for those same rows using “Execute job queue” as the task option.

In the next version of BatchPatch (should be released within a few weeks or so), you will be able to use the task scheduler to not only execute the job queue that is applied to the row(s), but you will also be able to execute previously saved job queues. (the current version does not support executing previously saved queues)

Thanks,

Doug

HI Doug,

Thank you for your reply. Your solution is exactly what i need. BatchPatch is absolutely the best program I have seen.

Excellent. I’m glad that worked. Keep your eye out for the new release in the coming days. It’s great to hear that the app is working well for you! Thank you for the kind words.

Take care,
