That's correct.
They made the change about a month ago. We've reached out to the vendor to see if we can work something out for our downloads, but we haven't seen any progress on that front just yet.

Hello mdigrego!

Unfortunately, the vendor has altered the download process.
We've noticed a slight increase in the number of vendors requiring CAPTCHA verification. Tableau is one of them.

From our known issues page (https://patchmypc.com/known-issues-and-considerations-when-using-patch-my-pc)
Tableau is blocking downloads from scripts and automated solutions. Utilize the Local Content Repository to publish Tableau products.

Ensure you enable the following option in the Advanced tab of the Publisher: "Check the local content repository repository for content files before attempting to download content files from the Internet."

We have seen some customers geo-blocking different countries on the firewall. This is a common occurrence for this specific software. I'd check with your network team.
Depending on which mirror you hit https://www.videolan.org/videolan/mirrors.html, it may be blocked.


You could use the local content repository if you need to get it updated ASAP.

Hope this helps.

Hi JC-WH,

Yes, those are the steps I'd start with.
You already have all the groundwork for getting the PMPC updates into ConfigMgr.
It would just be a matter of modifying your ADRs to account for Title = Adobe and Vendor = "Patch My PC"

Let us know how things go.

Hi MPangersis,
Would you be able to forward some of the failure logs over to [email protected]?
We can look through some of them to see what's going on, then reply back here.

Cheers.
