We seem to be unable to get any of the machines we patch using Protect to install ALL of the detected missing patches.
The best we can get it down to is 5 to 7 Patches Missing.
If a machine is detected as having 27 patches to install, it will install 20 or so without an issue, but no matter how many times we rescan and redeploy, we cannot get the final few patches installed.
As an example, after a fresh VM build of Server 2008 R2, I patch the machine but no matter how many times I scan, deploy and reboot I am still left with the following five patches listed - MSST-001 (Custom Action Patch), MSIE-002 (QIE9001U Toolkit to disable IE9 install), MS13-A02 (Q2847140), MS12-A10 (Q2794220) & MS12-A04 (Q2719615).
The above is just an example. it appears to occur on most if not all machines, virtual or physical, regardless of O/S.
I am currently using Protect 8.02 (build 4027), however I have just tested with Protect 9.0 (build 1182) and the issue is still present there.
Is this a common issue? Can anyone explain to me why this may be occurring?
