Overview(sorry if i blabbing): We currently use agent based patch deployment to install patches during patch week.
We use the once a month schedule option with the day occurence setting
Note: patch Tuesday is always the 2nd Tuesday of every month however the wednesday following
patch Tuesday is not always the 2nd Wednesday of the month
a good example is for the month of May 2013 patch Tuesday was May 14 which is the 2nd Tuesday of the month
however May 15 (the wednesday after patch Tuesday) is actually the 3rd Wednesday of the month.
Problem: We have to adjust the deployment date every month for each policy on each of our consoles
this is prone to user errors. I am looking to automate this using a script before patching begins.
Ideally it would be nice if Shavlik could update their calendar selection to include an option that keys off of patch tuesday
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to automate this ?
