PatchAutomation and ZeroDayPatch builds for 7.5 SP1 - Protirus/patchautomation GitHub Wiki

{CWoC} PatchAutomation and ZeroDayPatch builds for 7.5 SP1 https://www.symantec.com/connect/downloads/cwoc-patchautomation-and-zerodaypatch-builds-75-sp1

---

Update! Version 10 is out now, and both new builds are attached here

Version 10 brings about a major change in the tool: it no longer requires the Altiris.PatchManagementCore.Web.dll to work. This means the tool is completely standalone and can run from any folders.

Note that the builds are at version 10, but there are no feature changes from version 9 so all the existing documentation related (and updated) to both tool still apply:

{CWoC} ZeroDayPatch: Patch Automation Tool for PMS 7.1 SP2

{CWoC} PatchAutomation - Automated patching with Full Test Life-cycle

Deprecation notice! Please note that the information below is kept for information only. But as stated above Version 10 of the utilities are no longer tied to the Altiris.PatchManagementCore.Web.dll.

Important note! In order to use the new version of ZeroDayPatch and PatchAutomation you need to keep (or get) the Altiris.PatchManagementCore.Web.dll version 7.5.1597 from your "Patch Management\Core" installation folder under "Web\bin" into your running folder.

With the release of 7.5 SP1 Zero Day Patch and its parent tool Patch Automation stopped working with error:

Error message=Method not found: 'Altiris.Common.GuidCollection Altiris.PatchManagementCore.Policies.SoftwareUpdateAdvertismentSetPolicy.GetNonstagedUpdates(System.Collections.Generic.IList`1<System.Guid>, Boolean)'. Inner Exception= Stacktrace= at Altiris.PatchManagementCore.Web.PatchWorkflowSvc.IsStaged(String bulletinGuids) at Symantec.CWoC.ZeroDayPatch.RunAutomation(GuidCollection bulletins) In order to resolve this problem I created 7.5 specific code and builds that I share here today.
