Automate Patch Management with SnaPatch
Patch management doesn’t have to feel like a gamble. If you’re still relying on manual processes, you’re exposing your systems to unnecessary risks. SnaPatch streamlines patching for SCCM environments by combining automation, snapshot protection, and alerts to keep your infrastructure secure.
Why Manual Patch Management Is Risky
Every month brings new vulnerabilities via Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday. Without proper testing and automation, deploying patches manually can be time-consuming and risky—especially in environments with custom or sensitive server configurations. Missed patches or failed updates could lead to outages or security gaps.
Many IT teams use testing environments to simulate patch impact before rolling out updates. But when time or resources are tight, User Acceptance Testing (UAT) gets skipped, and patches go live untested—opening the door to potential issues.
Introducing SnaPatch
SnaPatch is a powerful add-on for Microsoft SCCM that automates patch deployment while giving you a rollback safety net. It creates snapshots of your VMs before patches are applied, and if something goes wrong, you can easily revert the changes. After a defined time, those snapshots are automatically deleted to free up storage.
SnaPatch also provides real-time email notifications so you’re always in the loop during patch deployment. From start to finish, you’ll have visibility, control, and peace of mind.
SnaPatch Benefits
- Automated snapshot creation and deletion around patch deployment
- Email notifications to track patch progress and outcomes
- Faster recovery in case a patch causes system failure
- Less time spent on UAT and manual intervention
- Greater consistency and compliance across environments
The Bottom Line
Patch management may never be fun, but it can be fast, safe, and reliable. With SnaPatch, you take the risk out of patching and put time back in your day. Don’t roll the dice—automate your patching strategy and protect your VMs with SnaPatch.
