Maintenance Schedule Exemptions
Exempted servers are servers that, at the moment, cannot be patched.
Some of the exemptions are related to maintenance schedules.
| Exemption | Description + How to Fix |
| Maintenance Window Required |
An endpoint without a maintenance window cannot be patched. To fix this exemption, assign a maintenance window to the endpoint. |
| Awaiting Maintenance Window |
The endpoint has an assigned maintenance window, however it has not yet arrived. Once the date & time of the schedule occurs, patching actions will start. |
| Maintenance Window Expired |
The endpoint has an assigned maintenance window but the date & time have expired and the server cannot be patched. To fix this exemption, assign a valid maintenance schedule to the endpoint. |
| Maintenance Window Timeout | Endpoint Assigned to problematic Maintenance Window and didn’t manage to deploy all patches on time. To fix this exemption, assign a valid maintenance schedule to the endpoint. |
| No Maintenance Entry | Endpoint Assigned to Maintenance Schedule with no maintenance Entries To fix this exemption, add maintenance entriy to the assigned Maintenance schedule |
