Daniel,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Yes, These are for both Operating System and 3rd party software patching and updates. Early on, I had requested to be put on a Beta trial for the GTR Windows Update feature capability, but was never contacted by anyone. I am still curious to see how that feature works, and if it is something that we could benefit from. Is that something that we could possible Demo?
As to where the reports come from, we use LanSweeper (https://www.lansweeper.com/), for a lot of our reporting. The product is agent or agentless based, and uses WMI scanning against Windows systems. It also offers MacOS scanning as well. We also use our A/V provider to identify any vulnerabilities present on our endpoints. Each service offers .csv or .xlsx exporting. The goal of the request, would be to use that list, and import into GTR, as a means to select all the assets requiring a specific update or patch.
Once the systems requiring the update|patch are identified, we create specific Remote Execution packages within GTR, to remediate. Sometimes we need to target many systems. This is where the list import feature would come into play.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Thanks
Mark
