Templetize Group of Patchments

[vmwd]

Hello everyone Is it possible to take a group of patches and let say create a template based on those and then patch.

You can specify a list of patches to apply, which would prevent any other patches from being applied. However, it would not guarantee that all the specified patches would be applied because the computer would first have to view those as “available updates” before it could ever apply them.

You could then just apply that same list to any machine that you wanted to update.

This link should help:

Remotely install only a subset of available Windows Updates

Thanks for the quick response, Is there a way to apply the same filter or save the filter so I can apply it to a list of hosts.

The filter can be applied to multiple hosts or just a single host at one time. This is only dependent on how many rows/hosts you have selected in the grid when you apply the filter. Select all the rows in a grid, and then you can apply the same filter to all rows with one click.

The filter for a given host/row or multiple hosts/rows is saved in the grid and would be saved to a .bps file if you saved the grid to .bps file. However, if you want to apply a filter from one .bps file or grid to another grid or .bps file, you would have to manually copy/paste the filter text.
