Support and General Questions (Enterprises Using ConfigMgr and Intune) / Re: Custom App without silent...

Last post by Andrew Jimenez (Patch My PC) - April 02, 2024, 03:01:28 PM

Hello,

For custom apps, we require a silent install argument for the installer at this time, however, we may remove that requirement in the future. If the installer is running in the background, typically that means that the installation is never completing. This is usually due to incorrect install parameters.

It is always recommended to ensure that you can install the software silently in an admin (or better yet, psexec running as SYSTEM) command prompt before adding the application to Custom Apps.

Hello, I'm creating a custom app with an exe for InfoZoom (InfoZoom_2023_en-US.exe). It looks like the install is running but will time out because it is running in the background. Is there a way to run it without it being silent? I see the "Silent Install Parameters" is required when created it and I don't know why that is.

We would be interested in a better answer, as well. We made a group that was excluded from all updates but that is just a workaround and requires its own process or automation.

The CPU usage you're experiencing with PatchMyPCService is within the expected range given your current hardware setup. If you're considering scaling up for ConfigMgr, increasing the CPU cores to at least 4 could indeed help manage the load more efficiently. Unlock the full potential of BIM with Autodesk Revit 2024 at ProCADIS.com. Monitoring the system's performance after the upgrade will be crucial to ensure that it meets the demands of your environment. Remember, the recommended specs are a guideline, and the actual requirements can vary based on your specific usage patterns and the number of clients being served. 😊

Hey !

Thank you for reaching out.
 
Certainly! The situation you described is quite common in environments where software updates are deployed through SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager).
 
Personaly, I don't think there is anything they can do except reboot the machines. What I can suggest is : Only give a few days restart grace period instead of 14.

You can configure SCCM to automatically schedule reboots after updates are installed. This ensures that systems are rebooted within a reasonable timeframe, minimizing the likelihood of pending reboots causing issues during software installations. However, be cautious with this approach, as unexpected reboots can disrupt user workflow.

Regards,
Raunak

EDIT:

Our problem is exactly this one here. We need this feature.

https://patchmypc.com/delaying-configmgr-base-application-updates
https://ideas.patchmypc.com/ideas/PATCHMYPC-I-257

The issue is, we do not use Config Manager and therefore the feature is not incluced?

Is there any chance that this can be included also without Config Manager?

Hey fadderson,

Thank you for reaching out.

For the deployment of updates, you can definitelys setup multiple ring and also set the delay from PatchMyPc publisher.

Once the next version releases, it will honor those delays.

if you have also set the Dynamic Assignments, and targeted to all devices without any delays, then that will take precedence over the manual assignments.

Thank you for your reply Raunak. Indeed we can manually set the delay from the publisher. But is there another way to solve this?

The problem lies within the shear amount of work that would happen for us. We do have 20 admins who may add groups to an application via Intune. So each time a required assignment group is added to an app that is also patched by pmp, we would have to edit the ,,Intune Apps" section and manually set the delay for 8 rings per country/admin. That would mean in extreme 160 manual groups need to be added in pmp PER app.

Regards, Dominic

Hello,

We were unaware of a new major version. We'll look into getting this version added to our catalog!
