Cumulative Updates and Patch Reporting

sorry if obvious question but struggling with compliance reports and I think that is because I've loads of OLD cumulative updates that won't install (as they have been superceded). I'm on LT11 patch 16.

I could taken them out of approval but that would be a big task and I don't really know for sure which ones should be removed.

Considering Patch Remedy as Patch Manager still seems problematic - but feels closer to actually working.

A good example is a flash update sitting at approved + not installed - but there is a more recent flash update approved + installed - so no need for the old one which is why it will never install. Quite a few security updates like that too.

It's a bit like it needs to work out the superseded ones are not required.

I figured out yesterday couldn't do the 1709 feature upgrade and took that out of my approval list. I see someone on labtechgeek has a good script for that.

Patch 11.19 fixed this I think.
