3rd Party App updates

Post by MarkHodges »

We have a bunch of applications covered by the 3rd party application manager, but I really don't know what I am missing on machines, outside of trying to run reports to identify common apps and add them.

Anyone have a list of common apps they usually target with choloatey?

I would start here, identify the common packages here against the installed software list for your clients.

Next would be to start a list here of (Search / Package) that people can cut and paste into their Search area in plugin.

I would LOVE to see that built into the plugin where it builds the list of applications from the clients themselves and auto matches them up to packages and adds them to the list in a disabled state.
then we'd just turn on the ones we want to update.
Kind of like a ninite update all option where you don't necessarily know are care whats on there, just update whatever you can, but in this case...we manually turn on the patching, but the list itself is built from the client apps and the choco repository...
