Hi Everyone
I need some more help. This time it is to do with Patch Management.
The system information:
NS Version - 7.1 SP2 Roll Up V3
NS Server - Server 2008 R2 Standard
SQL DB Server - Seperate server to the NS
I have sent out the patch MS13-A01 to machines during January. The patch reports as being installed successfully. But then it is trying to install again.
I have extracted the logs from a few client computers and they have had this patch installed multiple times successfully.
You can see a log below from one machine.

This is happening on multiple machines. It seems to be limited to this patch out of the monthly bulletin releases.
Is anyone else having this problem?
I have taken a look at the compliance report this morning and it reported that 162 machine had the patch installed and there were over 300 requiring the patch. Now in the afternoon I look and it is reporting that 355 machines have the patch installed. I am going to keep an eye on this when it does its next Assessment Scan and see if the results change again. I am thinking that when the Assessment Scan runs it is reporting that the patch is NOT installed and installs it. Even though it has already been installed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Is there anything I can check?
Additional possible useful information:
My Policy is set to "No repeat" for this job.
