Enhancements and Improvements

Storage Folder Cleanup

In Microsoft Configuration Manager, the WSUS cleanup tasks on the Software Update Point Component properties window can remove updates from the WSUS database and the WSUSContent folder, but do not clean up the UpdateServicesPackages folder. You can now selectively remove orphaned folders in the UpdateServicesPackages folder from the General tab of the Settings dialog to clean up this area.

New custom roles

Previously, users needed to be assigned the Full Administrator built-in role in Configuration Manager before they could use Ivanti Patch for Configuration Manager. Running the Data Migration Tool as part of the upgrade to V2023.2 adds two new custom roles to Configuration Manager that you can now use in place of the Full Administrator role:

  • 3rd Party Patch Administrator: provides all permissions required for patching
  • 3rd Party Patch Read-Only User: provides read-only permissions for the 3rd party patch tool

After running the Data Migration Tool for V2023.2 we recommend you assign your users to the appropriate custom role in Configuration Manager.
