Scheduling Batchpatch to run on specific weekend of the month

[newmanyoung]

I’m trying to configure batchpatch scheduling to run the weekend following patch Tuesdays for our servers. Trying to automate our patching and would like to have patching for our server done monthly. We have a maintenance window open for the weekend following patch Tuesday and would like to have the first batch of servers patched. Then production servers will be patch the following weekend. I didn’t find anything in windows GP, and I know batchpatch can schedule, but can it schedule for weekends and not specific dates? TIA

Newman – Currently if you select a recurring monthly schedule, it will select a date that is exactly one month in the future, with no regard to whether it’s a weekday or weekend. We are hoping/planning to add more advanced scheduler functionality in a future build, but for the moment what you see is what you get. Sorry about that.
