  1. To be able to schedule Patch management tasks, this would be useful for Mac devices that require Upgrade patches to be run via Patch management instead of IT Automation profiles.

    This workaround is useful for Mac devices that are offline, in order to help automate pushing Upgrade patches

    Nice! The feature you requested is being reviewed by our product team. We’ll keep an eye on the number of votes, and let you know if a decision is reached to implement. Thank you for being a partner in our process!

  3. It would be great to have a feature to allow for Microsoft patch roll back built into the product. This would be great when Microsoft puts out a patch that does not function as expected and thus affecting machine performance and/or non-functioning.

    Every product that I have used in the past offers this feature.

  4. The situation is sometimes clients download free software from the internet which might contain malware, to stop this, I am suggesting a feature in the Atera agent for controlling the UAC of the client. So whenever a client needs UAC admin access, The agent blocks him and in real-time notifies the technician about the authorisation request to approve/deny. If the technician approves the request, the Agent should autofill the Admin password which can be set from the Atera dashboard, and give the client access. If the technician denies it, the message should go to the client of admin denied and…

  5. Need the ability to push out windows updates en masse from the devices dashboard, similar to pushing a script to multiple computers or assigning an automation profile. This would come in handy when something was missed during a scheduled install or a batch of new machines.

  6. The ability to remove scheduled tasks for devices that were offline when the task was run. e.g. If you push out an update that caused a problem, it would be nice to be able to remove the scheduled update (that will run when the device comes online) if you know it will cause an issue.

  7. Pre Patch Download. It would be nice if you could schedule the download of patches prior to the patch profile running. Some updates are large and this can greatly increase time to run patching. An option to download the patches prior to the patch installation would help improve readiness of patching and avoid conflicts with other scheduled tasks.

  8. I work in a higher education environment, which means we have computer labs and commons. It would be great to have configuration profiles that can set power plans to entire labs so that during peak periods the computers can be awake and ready for students to use, but then allowed to go to sleep after hours.

  9. On especially laptop's we have enrolled Bitlocker with extended passphraseduring boot which means that as soon as the laptop passes bios it will ask for the passphrase/key/pin.
    MS self bypasses this during an upgrade but it would be nice if we could implement this feature (selectable) so that on patch reboot we don't have to call the customer to ask him to enter the password to continue working on the device.

  10. We now have the Patch Management Page on Atera, which is useful but it would be great if there were a tab within that for Software Patches, as we can already see something similar looking per device.

  11. I am monitoring a website via HTTPS. When the website goes down it requires a restart of the service. I have created a script that does this. It has to be run on the host manually as there is no link between the alert and the host.

    can we have have an option that when the HTTPS monitoring triggers an alert that it has the option to run a script on a host. Still alert to the issue but perhaps be able to resovle it automatically and right away.

  12. I know the Atera patch management function uses the WUA API to perform tasks, but additional functionality based on a device's vendor would be very helpful. I've noticed that patch management can often miss BIOS and firmware updates rolled out by vendors like Dell or HP, if Windows Update doesn't catch them.

  13. Currently when you push a Windows 11 upgrade to a device and that upgrade finishes installing, the user will get a brief notification that the device will be restarted soon and then it forces a restart. It would be good if there was a way to either have the automatic restart disabled so they user can restart the computer at their choosing or have the upgrade follow whatever Configuration Profile is setup for that device so that it follows the companies normal patching installation procedures.

  14. When creating an automation profile there is no clean way of creating an automation that runs every other week.
    For example I wish to run a secondary backup every other Friday. Currently you have to choose Friday for weekly and disable it every other week.

  15. When disk space goes over my 80% threshold I get a warning, that's great. But 79.999% doesn't constitute "Resolved", I'd like to set the hysterises level (say to 5%, it's defacto 0% right now) so the warning comes in at 82% and is considered resolved at 78%. By adding this degree of hysteresis, the flood of Alert Problem / Alert Resolved messages is reduced.

  16. A possibility to update software and apps that were not installed via chocolatey and homebrew would be a very important function. This should also be possible for installations that already exist when the Atera Agent was installed.

  17. some customers don't wanna get notification mails
    it would be great to have an option at cusomer data not to send such mails

    it would much better, to have that option an the ticket too and its set to the value of the customer on ticket creation.
    so we could see if the customer usually gets mails but decide for an other option at creation of a ticket

    alternatively a condition "contains not" at ticket automation rules could be a workaround
    send mail if customer name contains not "(no mail)"

  18. Patch Management, IT Automation, and Script retry option, when executed allow the agent to retry a specified number of times before failing. This would prevent a lot of automation failures, and fix 90% of the issues I have with Atera.

  19. This report will allow us to check all machines before and after the patch automation process. It will help identify machines where patching was missed, enabling us to address any issues and ensure all systems are up to date. Additionally, if possible, we would like the option to set up donut charts for subfolders within customer folders to provide a visual representation of the data.

  20. Automate Scripting off of custom fields variables
    EX. Custom field is checked then perform y script

    Automate scripting off of ticket automation rules.
    EX. Ticket has status of "new hire" run script y.

    and even allow to apply and remove profiles to users automatically from tickets or custom fields.
