Reprocess Failed Patches

Where a patch fails to install, you can attempt to reprocess it on one (Patches tab) or more devices (Patch Management for Windows Workflow or Approval Policy). After selecting the action the patch status in the Device's Patches tab changes from Failed to Pending. The patches are reprocessed and remediated according to the configured policy schedule (unless otherwise selected in the Patch Management Workflow) or where patch deployment is more urgent, manually initiate patch installation.

Patch Management Workflow (Multiple Devices)

  1. Log into N-sight RMM.
  2. Go to Settings > Patch Management > Management Workflow.
  3. Search through the Approval Policy and select the target patch, to make its identification easier we recommend filtering by Patch Name and/or Filter by Status.
  4. Click Proceed.
  5. Choose Reprocess failed.
  6. Click Next to choose the entity the action is to apply to (overall device type -Server or Workstation - down to the Client or Site level).
  7. Click Next again to use the existing installation schedule or create a specific schedule for this patch.
  8. Click Apply.

Patches tab (Individual Device)

  1. Log into N-sight RMM.
  2. Select the target device in the North-pane of the All Devices view.
  3. Go to its South-pane Patches tab.

  5. Right-click on one of the selection (or from the Patch drop-down).
  6. Select Reprocess Failed.
  7. OK to exit and save.
