Hello RobStewart,

Why don’t you install a new Windows Server 2008 / or 2012 and use this server as the new BatchPatch server #1

From this server you run the BathPatch jobs. You can export from the old BatchPatch your settings to the new Batch Patch server.

I think this wil solved the problem

Running BatchPatch on a management server seems to me a bit risk when a colleague restart this server while BatchPatch is running with a job. We use a separate BatchPatch server. When you have a large environment you can install a second BatchPatch server and split the load

HI Doug when do you expect this feature will be add in the new release? When I check for stopped automatic services this services always shows up. Not always you can set them to manual.

Maybe you can disable UAC and reboot your machine

Hi Booster – I have changed my winning sequence 🙂 and use your advice.

1. Get stopped automatic services (To prove if automatic services already stopped before patching the server)

2. Download and install updates + reboot always (First Install)

3. Wait for host to offline and come back online

4. Wait 5 minutes

5. Download and install updates + reboot if required (Second Install if needed)

6. Wait 5 minutes

7. Download and install updates + reboot if required (Third Install if needed)

8. Wait 5 minutes

9. Start stopped automatic services

10. Get stopped automatic services

11. Get C disk space

12. Send email notification

Now a have 3 loops of Microsoft Updates detection. And yes 15 min. of total time of waiting but this sequence is start at night so this is for me not a problem.

Hi Doug – You have absolutely right I want to be sure that every server has download and installed all the updates. Sometimes you see that after a reboot the server finds again new updates. I think we must try to see which option works best for us.

Maybe we keep it simple in the beginning and finetune it later.

Hi Doug,

I understand that this is a lot of work. Maybe crowdfunding is an option if money helps?
