A failed update gets a repair before a ticket.
A patch fails, and nobody notices until the audit.
Then a tech fixes it by hand, one machine at a time.
What if the agent tried a repair first?
What would that fix for you?
Tickets
With the ticket setting on, a ticket opens after the tries.
It carries a list of what was tried.
The audit
Every attempt is recorded on the device.
A failed update does not hide.
Repeat work
The agent finds the cause first.
Then it runs a fix picked for that cause.
Step by step
How it works
- 1
A Windows update fails on a device.
- 2
The agent diagnoses the cause first.
- 3
It runs one repair from a library of ten automated fixes.
- 4
Each try runs one fix picked for the cause.
- 5
It retries the update, up to three tries a day.
- 6
If it still will not install, a ticket opens.
What's different
The list of fixes is printed on the policy page.
Each attempt is recorded on the device.
The ticket arrives with what was tried.
What stays in your hands
- Repair can be turned off in a policy.
- A policy that says never restart turns repair off for that device.
- Unknown causes and missing app packages go straight to a ticket.
- Servers do not restart on their own unless you opt in.
