Patch Status report

-

hi all,

i want know details regarding patch status. using wsus3.2

we have 4 types of patch status defects.

1) pending reboot

2) downloaded

3) failed

4) not installed.

1) if machine pending reboot status patch suppose patch a. did able other patch suppose b.? if deploy 10 patches @ time , 5 of them need reboot. if machine first patch , needs reboot possible machine other patches out rebooting required first patch.

2) meaning of "downloaded" did means patch downloaded client machine , not installed or did not downloaded client machine. how force machines patches status downloaded.

3) not installed means did not approved patches server right? or thing else.

please me finding more details.

regards,

rk

no.
if deploy 10 patches @ time , 5 of them need reboot. if machine first patch , needs reboot possible machine other patches out rebooting required first patch.
no matter how many updaets deploy require reboots, long none of them classified "exclusive", install , system rebooted once.
2) meaning of "downloaded" did means patch downloaded client machine , not installed
correct.
3) not installed means did not approved patches server right?
"not installed" means update not installed. period. there should no other inferences or assumptions drawn status.
please me finding more details.

i suggest refering these 2 document collections in technet library:
