Endpoint Exemptions and Warnings

Exemptions

Exempted endpoints are endpoints that at the moment cannot be patched.

The following list contains the exemptions that can prevent an endpoint from being patched.

Exemption	What does it mean + Impact	How to Fix
Untested Endpoint	JetPatch has the endpoint in the inventory but does not aware of any Connector installations. More information can be found in Endpoint List and Connector Connection Status Reference Cannot patch	If the issue is only affecting some of the endpoints Deploy the Connector Using JetPatch Policy = Assign credentials -> Deploy connector OR Deploy Connector on the Endpoint itself If the issue is affecting all of the endpoints (especially when the endpoints were previously connected) Make sure the IP of JetPatch server is static
Patching Inapplicable	Linux - Endpoint running does not support the Operating System for patching activities Windows - One of the following reason: Endpoint does not exist in WSUS Endpoint exists in WSUS but not yet reported. WSUS not added to JetPatch Cannot patch	Learn more on JetPatch Supported Platforms
Powered Off	The endpoint is Powered Off. More information can be found in Endpoint List and Connector Connection Status Reference Cannot patch	Power On the endpoint server
Power Suspended	Endpoint is suspended More information can be found in Endpoint List and Connector Connection Status Reference Cannot patch
Power Unknown	JetPatch could not detect the Power state of the endpoint More information can be found in Endpoint List and Connector Connection Status Reference Cannot patch
Disconnected	JetPatch could not connect to the endpoint (SSH/SMB protocols) / JetPatch didn't get any communication from the endpoint (WEB protocol) Temporarily cannot patch	Re-establish connector connectivity
Connector Not installed / Available	Valid credentials are known to be available, but JetPatch has not yet installed the JetPatch connector on the endpoint. More information can be found in Endpoint List and Connector Connection Status Reference Cannot patch	Deploy Connector on endpoint server
Connector Down	The endpoint is reachable but Connector is stopped More information can be found in Endpoint List and Connector Connection Status Reference Temporarily Cannot Patch	Re-establish connector connectivity
Not Reachable	The endpoint is not reachable (Communication problems) More information can be found in Endpoint List and Connector Connection Status Reference Temporarily Cannot Patch	Re-establish connector connectivity
Invalid Credentials	The supplied credentials are not accepted by this endpoint, so they cannot be managed. More information can be found in Endpoint List and Connector Connection Status Reference Temporarily Cannot Patch	Fix invalid Credentials
Awaiting Maintenance Window	Endpoint Assigned to Future Maintenance Schedule (Not Started) Temporarily cannot patch	Learn more about Maintenance Schedules
Maintenance Window Required	No Maintenace Schedule was assigned to Endpoint. Temporarily cannot patch
Maintenance Window Expired	Endpoint Assigned to Expired Maintenance Schedule (Already Ended) Temporarily cannot patch
Maintenance Window Timeout	Endpoint Assigned to problematic Maintenance Window and didn’t manage to deploy all patches on time. Temporarily cannot patch
Suspended by User	Currently cannot be patched - An endpoint was suspended manually by the user for a number of cycles or between specific dates Temporarily cannot patch	Remove endpoint Suspension
Unsupported PowerShell Execution Policy	The PS Execution Policy is AllSigned/Restricted Cannot patch	Configure PowerShell execution policy Learn more about Readiness
Unsupported PowerShell Version	The major PS version is 2 or below Cannot patch	Upgrade to PowerShell version 3 and above Learn more about Readiness
Advisories Not Exist	The endpoint does not have the Advisories information from the configured repositories in JetPatch settings Cannot patch	Learn more about Readiness
Packages Not Exist	The endpoint does not have packages from the configured repositories Cannot patch	Learn more about Readiness
Wrong Repositories Configuration	Cannot patch	Learn more about Readiness
Subscription Missing	The endpoint does not have a valid subscription Cannot patch	Learn more about Readiness
Wsus Communication Problems	The endpoint Didn't / Couldn't report to the WSUS Withing the configurable time Cannot patch	Learn more about Readiness
Unknown Endpoint	The endpoint was discovered by the Vulnerability System but is not managed Cannot patch	Deploy Connector on endpoint server
Pending User Action	The endpoint (Virtual Machine) Freezes Cannot patch
Pending Reboot Suspension	Patching Process Ended, but a Reboot is Needed Cannot patch	1. Reboot the machine 2. Remove endpoint Suspension 3. Wait 1 day

The following list contains the warning that can prevent an endpoint from being patched

Low Disk Space

This warning will appear if any percentage is >= 90% on any of the hard drives on an endpoint.

Regarding low disk space, you can verify disk space by going to

> Platform configuration > Servers > filter on the endpoint.

Note: You need to make sure that in Table Settings (button in the upper right corner) have "Disk Space In Use" column enabled.

By hovering the mouse over the Disk Space In Use column and row of the needed endpoint, a pop up window will appear with additional data.
