Purpose
This article provides information about the Patch for Windows Tracker status messages.
Resolution
You can verify the deployment status by going to View> Deployment Tracker or by pressing the F9 key in the Patch for Windows GUI.
This table lists possible statuses and their descriptions:
| Status | Description |
| No status | Initial value set when the tracker record is created |
| Failed | Deployment failed for one of these reasons:
The message includes the reason. |
| Copied to machine | Files and data have been copied to the target machine. |
| Scheduled | Deployment has been scheduled on the target machine. |
| Executing | The patch file is executing. |
| Executed | Patch has executed and the deployment template specified no reboot. |
| Executed (pending reboot) | Patch has executed, and a reboot of the target machine is pending. This status is set after executing the patch file if the deployment template specifies/allows reboot. Always reboot the target after running a patch uninstall. |
| Reboot may be required / Installation failed | Rescan completed and found the specified patch is missing. |
| Successfully installed | Rescan completed and found the specified patch is not missing. |
| Unable to verify | Could not perform the rescan (that is, failed to connect to target machine) or the patch InstallState attribute is present but not missing or installed in the rescan results. |
| Canceled | Deployment was cancelled. |
| Install complete. Not verified | This status is no longer used. |
| Awaiting rescan | Rescanning the target machine. This status is set immediately prior to sending the rescan request to the scan engine. |
| Installed Success Inferred | Rescan did not report on the patch. It is neither missing nor installed, so tracker infers that the patch was successfully installed. This happens for patches that actually install newer versions of the product. Since the old product is no longer present on the target, the patch for the old product appears neither as missing nor as installed. |
