OK. So a followup then...
What's the best methodolgy for "releasing" new patches to be repaired for that night @ Thursday 10pm to 2am.
Should I:
a) Force a Scan and Repair task that day, after I have configured the patches to autofix for the scope in question, but before the Maint Window.
b) Start a Repair Task for the patches in question at 10pm Thursday.
I've tried b) but I suspect I was creating a task conflict because some of the computers already started up their run @ 10pm. I got lots of computer in Pending/Waiting status until after 2am when they then ran, but failed to install patches because it was outside Maint Window.
