Kaseya Script To Run Patch My PC

Kaseya does an okay job to deploy software patches but we we decided it was best to create a Kaseya Script To Run Patch My PC.

This simple script grabs the latest Patch My PC from the developers website and places it into the kworking folder on the users workstation or server. The software has a string parameter to run as the System User to scan the entire system for installed apps and afterwards it will install the latest software Patch silently.
To automatically deploy this script on a scheduled basis, within Kaseya we used Policy Management and configured a new Scheduled policy to run this Patch my PC script every week.

Below you can see the Kaseya Script to run the Patch My PC. I also provided the download link for it.
