We use Automox to patch servers and workstations to enforce OS & third-party patches, and custom scripting across Windows, Mac, and Linux.
- Grouping of servers base on the naming conventions
- Add a new zone to patch a severs on a different domain
- Vulnerability Assessment by integrating automox with Rapid7
- Patch progress window
- Reporting
- Patch staging\delivery optimization but not only limited to 2019 servers
- Update Automox agents on Windows\Linux servers from the Automox admin console
- Time syncing issues between what the server is reporting and the Automox console
- Policy to force a server reboot regardless if the server is missing a patch that required a reboot or not
- Cloud base patch tool
- Less on-prom patch management servers to maintain
- Switching between workstations and servers from one admin console
The ability for granular approval of certain types of updates and exclusions for others like beta or preview releases.
Moving from on-prom patch management to to a cloud base automation tool
