Is there an easy way to find fixlets that have no default action? We are just starting out and want to apply all critical / important patches to our Windows systems. I thought about adding these all to a baseline, however I know its not recommended to have more then 50 - 100 fixlets. I thought perhaps I would create a baseline that included only items that had to no default action… thoughts?
You can open your presentation debugger in the console and try running this session query (use the “HTML” option):
((ol of link of it) of bes fixlets whose ((not exists default action of it) AND (name of site of it as lowercase = “enterprise security”) AND (name of it as lowercase does not contain “corrupt”) AND (name of it as lowercase does not contain “superseded”) AND (applicable computer count of it > 0)) )
This will find all the Fixlets on the MS Patches site that are not “corrupt patches”, that are not superseded, that have at least one computer relevant, and that don’t have a default action.
You could further restrict by editing the relevance… Hope that helps,
