One minor fix that has bugged me for years. Please change "stagged" to "staged" in this message series below.

A question was asked on Connect by scfung:

Could you help to provide command line switch for the "As soon as possible" or "On schedule" package options on the policy creation?

This relates to the following Package Options

csc /win32icon:filename *.cs

C# Compiler Options Listed Alphabetically

Hi
Since 8.6 RU3 update, the patch policy creation was bugged, I used the more recent ZeroDayPatch-8.6-RU3.zip with the "stagged" bug fixed.

Policies are well created, but the difference is that patches in the policy are always unchecked. A manual action is needed to manually check all policies and enable all patches in the policies.

Hello Alex and team,

I've upgraded to SMP 8.6 RU3 that was released a couple of days ago, and wanted to let you know that Zero Day Patch is not able to Download bulletins.

Error message:

Processing bulletin CHROME-220802 (34c373f2-6163-4417-a477-6c74e8643a45) now.
... bulletin will be stagged now.
Failed to stage bulletin CHROME-220802 - skipping the bulletin now.

The update is not being added to 'Distribute Software Updates'.  Also, if a bulletin is manually downloaded, there are no issues and the Policy is created:

Processing bulletin CHROME-220802 (34c373f2-6163-4417-a477-6c74e8643a45) now.
This bulletin is already staged.
Checking if we need to create a new policy now.
... create a policy for the bulletin now.
Software update policy created!

Please take a look when you get a chance.

Thanks, Roy

I'd like to add Assembly Info to the app. We could then use that in the /version switch

Need to think about the 3 different Apps.

• PatchAutomation
• PatchExclusion
• ZeroDayPatch

Create a new file AssemblyInfo.cs and update the info.
Compile: csc *.cs

using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

[assembly: AssemblyTitle("ZeroDayPatch and PatchAutomation")]
[assembly: AssemblyProduct("PatchAutomation")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright © Symantec")]
[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("Symantec Corporation")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.#")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.#")]

@lcode

I encountered the same issue and I could fix it with making a slight change in Zerodaypatch.cs

The line which is causing the problem

wrap.CreateUpdatePolicy(name, bulletin.ToString(), config.Target_Guids, true);

My correction

wrap.CreateUpdatePolicy(name, bulletin.ToString(), config.Target_Guids[0], true);
