Option for Windows Feature Updates to restart after error msg
Option for Windows Feature Updates to auto restart a scheduled task when receiving an "Error, Agent Disconnect" message. It shouldn't be hard since it already restarts if the task Fails, can't it count toward the total number of retries?

Detect security updates from sources.list.d
Currently for Debian-based systems, Linux Package Upgrade Schedules can only detect security updates from sources listed in the /etc/apt/sources.list file.
If you have sources under the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory, these are not considered by the SMA despite working correctly when running 'apt-get update' manually on the devices.
This might not be desirable for organisations that maintain their primary or additional sources under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

patch
it would be awesome if we can implement patching by batches; where we can run a deploy job on a bunch of workstations, and KACE patches them by batches, say 20 at a time to conversive network resources.

ability to remove the pending reboot alert when redeploying patches
The change in 11.1 where the enduser gets a popup alert that they need to reboot their machines. This is a good feature but it should be optional. We support a healthcare company and they do not want any alerts during the day. We prestage patches and deploy during the day and reboot at night using a script. We just need to be able to disable this.

Enable 4/8 hour sleep on reboot option, or customizable options
Previously to version 10.2, there was an option for 4/8 hour sleep before rebooting, this would push it to the end of the day. This option should be controlled by the administrators, it should be customizable and set to whatever we would like it to be.

User-Initiated Detect and Deploy Patching
Have a completely user-initiated form of Detect and Deploy Patching. We currently have an overwhelming majority of users on laptops in a K-12 school environment with a weekly patching schedule. Due to the various different schedules at all the schools and and the district office, there is no single good time to have the patching, nor due to all the different schedules that can change at each school site from week to week. The teachers can't have the updates occur during their lessons so snoozing is enabled, but with the devices being laptops, many teachers then take the devices off…

Stage & On-Demand deploy - Show a popup (on interval) that updates are ready for install.
The user doesn’t get any agent-popup that actively notifies him that “patches are staged, and ready for deployment”.
Only the agent-indicator in the system tray turns blue and the option “Deploy staged patches” is shown.But not a single user will keep an eye on the agent-indicator to watch out for the staged patches. Therefore, patches will not be installed in a fast manner, and the user can’t “plan” the deployment himself (within the maximum period of time before the forced indicator kicks in).
I think it would be handy if we can configure a notification-popup to remind the user…

ScanSnap Updates
I don't know of a way to automatically update the scansnap applications in KACE and I don't know if the vendor allows it. This forces us to log on under our admin accounts and install the software every time an update is pushed out by the vendor. A true nightmare.

Add Webex Teams to the Patching Catalog
Please add Webex Teams to the Cisco Systems patch subscription. Webex Meetings and Jabber are already supported so it'd be nice to have Teams too.

Linux Patching: Kace to act as proxy server
The option to have the KACE server act as a proxy for Linux patches. Similar to how Windows patches are downloaded locally to the appliance.

User notification of pending patches
We have a lot of remote users that don't always connect to the network on patch night. We have them patch on next connection. It would be nice if they would get a notification of how many patches they have installing.

Manually import patches to the catalog for software not normally patched by Kace
I have a script to install software not supported by Kace. I want to be able to import future updates to that software after it has installed into the patch catalog.

Kace client pull manifest from server (not push to client)
We're deploying ZTNA and that will mean we will not allow servers to initiate connections to endpoints for OS or application patches.
In this architecture we'll need the clients to reach out to the server and initiate the session, check for updates and download on a set check for manifest interval of 10 or 30 minutes, for example.

NOT to USE the "OPERATING SYSTEMS" option to pick from when no devices are selected nor Labels selected nor "All Devices" selected.
This case it will incidentally push widows updates to machines that you never had selected. It is not a good thing. Otherwise the "ALL DEVICES" option is illogical.

Patching Notification Window
Introduce the ability to minimize the "patching in progress" window to notification tray icon, and/or introduce the ability to configure whether the notification window should be "kept on top" or not.
