  • 1.  Patch Roll Back

    Does anyone know how to roll patches back in Altiris ? I have looked at all the online training and they show you how to deploy but not how to roll back.

    Unless you are using the integrated recovery solution and snapshotting your machines before patch deployment, you have to run an uninstall somehow. We use Software Delivery to deploy the uninstall options for any patches that we need to roll back. Example shown below of a program to uninstall the MS006-042 (KB918899) patch. Package contains no source files and I have a program that has the following command line to uninstall the patch if needed. %windir%\$NtUninstallKB918899$\spuninst\spuninst.exe /quiet /norestart Nate Hudson Senior Systems Engineer West Bend Mutual Insurance
