I am attempting to convert an existing WSUS server patching strategy to LanDesk.
My current WSUS Server patching strategy has all approved patches downloaded to the server when available and then each server is part of an AD group telling it when its OK to start Automatic updates.
So we have AD group for say "Sunday - 2AM" and "Monday - 5AM" and servers are members of the groups accordingly.
So in LD I created a bunch of different Agent settings to match my AD patch groups and then I apply the appropriate agent setting to each server.
So now I have a test server with its Agent settings listing the maint windows from 6pm to 7pm each night.
I created a repair task and scheduled it to run once at 5pm. when the repair task runs at 5pm, it fails with a return code 491 - Some/All actions have been deferred until the next maintenance window.
I understand this message.
What I expect is that the patches have been downloaded to the server via the agent and then when its 6pm, the agent will start up and install the patches.
However, this is not happening and I'm not sure why?
Is it because I need to run the repair task during the maintenance window? or do I need to have Autofix somehow enabled?
Just not sure why its not doing what I expect it to do.
any insight would be appreciated.
