Has anyone created a Task Chain that runs a script, then runs patches, then runs a report to show the patching results?

I have a script that take Snapshots of servers, prior to patching.

I also have Patch Schedules that work as expected running at various times during the month.

I now have reports to show the results of those Patches.


I need to create a Task Chain that will run the Snapshot script, then run the Patch Schedule, then run the Report on a schedule.

Looking for suggestions on how to do this or advice on another way to accomplish the same goal in another way.  I am running KACE SMA 10.2.234.



Thank you in advance.

I know this is 1 yr old but anyone have a script to do snapshots (hyper-v)?  And how about one to delete them?  The person who posted this left me wondering what he/she is doing about all these snapshots accumulating.  I think this is a great idea.. wish I had thought of it.  Of course, this wont help me with hosts..  May the force be with me on those I guess..  Im about to deploy the remainder of dell driver/firmware/bios patches to some hosts.. so far so good.. but of course I saved the most critical for last.

well, you cannot run a report as part of the task schedule.

So you can run the snapshot, the patch in a task chain and do a scheduled report unlinked to that. You may want to add the time of the last time the patching has been run and the result to the report.

  • Thanks.. finding task chains very limited. For example, cant do Dell patches. It is what it is. - barchetta 1 year ago
