SnaPatch

SnaPatch connects and interacts with Microsoft's System Centre Configuration Manager SCCM , VMware's ESX and now also Microsoft's HyperV. By bridging all of these platforms it allows us to remove the inherent risk associated with patching and updating servers. This is achieved by automatically taking snapshots of the virtual server prior to deploying any patches. This ability gives you a reliable and fast roll back if any of those updates cause an issue to your virtual machines. SCCM is a fantastic tool for deploying updates to your Windows fleet, however, it relies on companies and system administrators to have dedicated test environments to determine the possibility of a patch having a detrimental effect on any particular server or application. Even if the patch doesn't cause any issues within a test environment, that doesn't necessarily mean it won't cause an issue in production. The safest and easiest way to remove this risk is to take a snapshot of the virtual server before deploying updates. SnaPatch lets you: View collections and members Easy to set up and configure View patching compliance Easily differentiate between physical and virtual machines Create Software Update Groups Take a snapshot of a virtual server before deploying any patches View detailed information for every update Search for a server and lists its memberships The dashboard keeps you up to date on every task Set a schedule to perform all the tasks Create a maintenance window Easily manage scheduled jobs Deploy patches to both physical and virtual servers Get email notifications to keep you informed Keep track of and automatically delete snapshots Receive emails before snapshots are deleted Exclude servers from the snapshot auto-delete policy Include virtual machine memory as part of the snapshot Scan for desktops and laptops as well as servers Create computer groups Run Pre and Post Scripts

Changes: Updates to functionality, added the ability to run a scheduled Pre and Post deployment script option.
