Available Reports

There are three different deployment reports that can get sent:

  • Deployment Status by Deployment: This report is sent after the deployment is complete and verified or after the maximum time specified on the General tab. The report provides general status information about the deployment.
  • Deployment Status by Machine: This report is sent after the deployment is complete and verified or after the maximum time specified on the General tab. The report identifies each machine included in the deployment and indicates if the patch deployment on each machine was successful or unsuccessful.
