Dear Support,
I have asked this by email (a few months ago) and tohught I would ask again here to see what everyone else thinks.
When you create an automated patch deployment you have the option for it to email you when it completes.
I would like the option to email to be added to EVERY type of configuration.
For example, if I patch a group of servers in the patch management module I would like an option to be emailed when it completes, with either a summary or verbose report of all the patches applied, success or failure.
If I apply a configuration to make a registry change to one PC, again I would like an email.
The reason for this is that there is no way to archive configurations (see separate request) and currently when I do my monthly patching I do them is custom batches using custom group: there is often no set pattern to this as lots are out of hours and it depends on my availability.
To keep the list of configurations neat (and manageable) once a configuration has been applied (server patched and now fully up to date for example) I delete it from the configurations list. This means I have a minimal list - currently over 700 configs applied on this DTC installation (taken from the autonumbering when I make a new one) but only 20 or less currently showing in the app.
I can then use the emails as my record of the patching or other config and retain them (like I used to do with your SMP product which cleared out old configs after 30 days).
Many thanks,
Dean
