Retry button for failed systems on a patch schedule list
Lets say you have 20 DC's as an example and you run the patching and then click on the screen that shows your patching process and after a period of time lets say a couple systems fail the handshake or upload files error, you cannot just click on the two machines or failed machines and hit "retry" for just those machines. What we need to have is a retry button that retries all the failed or systems that do not show "Completed" - so that you don't have to run the whole patching process again for all systems when you only want to run the retry for just the holdouts. I end up having to duplicate the patch schedule and remove all but the two machines and run just those two separately. Sure I can rerun the original list that showed a bunch of completed systems but then each of those completed systems or systems that are not hung up and they end up having to go through a number of the stages all over again.

Or just a check box on the individual line items with the run now.

I agree. this is a real shortcoming when you have multiple failures and no easy way to retry. I have to have a manual detect schedule and then have to manually enter all the fails and run it. Wastes so much time.

Or an option to have it continue the next time the agent connects automatically! It's a pain to have to monitor deployments and weed out machines that had an agent error.
