Set the "Package Servers Automatically..." Assignment to All PMS Package Objects

SK's picture

By default, when you enable the "Allow Package Server distribution" option within the "Patch Management > Server Settings > Microsoft Settings > Microsoft > Advanced" page, all Patch Management package objects will receive the "All Package Servers" assignment.

This is because, this assignment option is hardcoded in Patch Management Solution.

If you wanted to use the "Package Servers automatically with manual prestaging" assignment instead, the "Allow Package Server distribution" must first be disabled, so as to prevent all new Patch Management Solution package objects from receiving the "All Package Servers" assignment.

The attached tool can then be run to modify all existing Patch Management Solution package objects, as well as run each time the Bulletin staging process has completed, so that all new Patch Management Solution package objects are provided with this assignment.

When this tool is run, it will write an entry into the NS logs for each object it touches.
