Add advanced scheduling to support patch Tuesday

We typically apply patches the weekend after Patch Tuesday but it's not always the second weekend of the month so we can't schedule it with the options available.

    This is extremely valuable in the days of 0 days and such that are critical to patch.
    We run with every third saturday, but that sometimes means 10 days behind Patch Tuesdays

    It's important that the Azure team that reads this understands that the arguments that we need supported is "run X days after patch tuesday" or have a release cycle like you do with Windows 10.

    I'd like to have the patches every Friday after Patch Tuesday, for example.

    Hi Stefan Hirsch,

    I have the same issue, can you guide how did you solve the issue using automation job

    RE: We are working on the next iteration of Update Management which is set to provide the capability for users to set a recurring ‘day’ for their schedule

    >> Can you please clarify, is that recurring 'day' an offset relative to patch Tuesday ?

    This request has been 'in the pipe' for 3 years with no update from an Admin in over a year, while we in the business are having to jury-rig solutions for our enterprise customers. This is a common sense capability that should have been baked into the initial product, not something we have to beg for.

    We need this too.

    Test /Dev = PatchTuesday + 4 days
    Prod = PatchTuesday + 9 days

    As Joe mentioned it never always falls on a 3rd or 4th week of the month. We need to be able to schedule 'relative to' patch tuesday.

    Thanks

    I support this request as well as having an offset so that I can patch 4 days after Patch Tuesday; effective the Saturday after Patch Tuesday.

    It is very important feature to have the offset value that can be set from the "patch tuesday". Now it is missing and make the scheduling not possible

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    or if not explicit "patch tuesday" support, a patch on release day + N or weekend +N from the release day.

    We like to patch test and UAT on the day or so after release, then production a week or two later at the weekend. Impossible to achieve under the current mechanism

    This allows for any post-patch tuesday fixed to be picked up and attended to in a timely and safe (i.e. non production first) manner
