Hi @Biboba,

This looks similar to the 10.9.1 log4j patch issue: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-powershell-dsc/issues/394#issuecomment-1118923443.

Looks like the ArcGIS-111-S-WSD-Patch.msp is missing the QFE_ID. The module will extract the QFE_ID from the .msp file to use to compare with the Windows registry:

Since the msp doesn't contain the QFE_ID the idempotency check fails every time. I'm afraid there isn't much we can do within the Module to address this issue.

Note: When ConfigData.DownloadPatches is set to true the module will obtain the QFE_ID from the internet to use and compare against the registry entry rather than the msp file.

Thanks, Cameron K.

Hi @cameronkroeker,

Thanks for your reply. I understand it is not related to DSC.... but it's annoying. I like to master patches installation timing so I am not fond of downloading them at runtime. Maybe you could do some lobbying to the team in charge of releasing patches ? Or do you think we should open a ticket with support to get that fixed ?

Thanks

Hi @Biboba,

I've notified the various teams that coordinate the patching effort, and hopefully it will be addressed. It may take some time though because once a patch has been released, they have to go through the release process to re-release each effected patch for both Windows and Linux and each version the patch was released for.

Thanks, Cameron K.
