Patch Policy - How do I make it immediately run on new machines?

Usage and Config Patch

Hi All,

I’m currently looking at trying to automate our new machine imaging process. In the past, we would manually image a desktop, install the bigfix agent, then push out our monthly baseline to the computer.

I automated the majority of the process, so the bigfix agent gets installed as a task sequence, applies a custom property, then the “New computer” baseline gets applied to a automatic group based off the custom property and removes the custom property.

Now I can technically do the same thing with the Windows update baselines and have it automatically run, but I don’t want to have to manually run the baseline action every month as we create a new one every patch tuesday. Is their any way to get the patch policy to immediately updates to a automatic computer group? I was playing around with the UI and I couldn’t find a setting that could allow me to use it as such.

Immediately !!! thats not yet updated within patch policy however we can create patch policy to refresh & run daily on specific computer group.

There is another road block ! WebUI Patch Policy still not mature enough to allow to add Baseline & tasks, you need to assign fixlets only (which must have default action), again those must be falling under specific category, source, site & released date. to avoid conflicts & unnecessary stuff to be added into patch policy.

Also you cant define priority or order of your items !!!
