How to troubleshoot failed patches
Hello,
We run scheduled patches on all our devices weekly from our K1000 appliance (7.1.149). Our devices are a mixture of Windows 7 x64 and Windows 10 OS's. Over the last few weeks, I've noticed a spike in patch failures (not offline and not success) to the point that only 7 of our desktops succeeded this week.Usually, we average around 50-60 successes. 90 failed and 21 were offline. The number of offlines are actually lower than normal (yay users!).
I need to find out why these patches failed. The failed computers are of both OS's. The patches that are listed as "missing" are different in almost all cases. There are some similarities among Windows 10 devices and among Windows 7 devices, but not between both OS's. Some of the failed devices have no patches under "errors", only in missing.
Bottom line, I haven't been able to track down the reason so many devices are suddenly "failing" the patches. The numbers for laptops are better. We only had 17 fails with the laptop patching, even though we have about as many laptops as we do desktops.

So what is the best way to troubleshoot this? Where can I find information on WHY these devices ended up in the "fail" column on the patch schedule?

You will need to check the Kagent.log file and see why they failed, also confirm if you have a replication share in place or not..
