Plenix 2026.10.36 — RMM Jobs, 139 ready-made automations and patch management at scale
A new Jobs page shows everything RMM is doing, has done and will do, and builds multi-step jobs that run once or on a schedule. Automations get 38 searchable triggers and 139 templates, and patch management updates any number of devices at once with a progress bar for each.

Release 2026.10.36 brings RMM work into one place, makes automations far more capable, and rebuilds patch management for updating many devices at once. RMM is available on the Business and Enterprise plans.
New features
- Jobs. A new page under RMM shows everything sent to your devices — scripts, components, application installs and updates, Windows updates, scans and restarts — whether you started it, or a policy, automation, rollout or schedule did. Live shows what is running now with a progress bar per device, Scheduled shows everything that will run, and History shows everything that finished, with filters by type, source, status and device. Cancel anything queued and retry anything that failed.
- Build your own jobs. Combine as many steps as you need — run a script, command or component, install, remove or update an application, update every application, install Windows updates (all, critical or security), scan, restart, or restart a service. Give any step a condition, such as only if Adobe Reader is not installed, and choose whether a failed step stops the device or carries on. Target devices, groups, sites, customers or a live filter, preview who it will reach, then run it now, once at a set time, or on a repeating schedule — including the Wednesday after Patch Tuesday. Each run shows every device, the step it is on and the result of every step, and you can retry only the devices that failed.
- 139 ready-made automations. Browse templates for patching, software, security, performance, availability, services, scripts, alerts and backups, plus 40 "install when missing" rules for common applications. Each one is created switched off so you can check it first.
Improvements
- 38 automation triggers, with search. Automations can now react to devices going offline or coming back, missing critical or other updates, restarts pending, failed Windows or application updates, applications missing, out of date or vulnerable, failed or successful scripts, components and jobs, monitoring alerts, backups, long uptime, new devices and any device filter you build. Automations can install or update software, install Windows updates, scan, restart or run a saved job, and every run appears on the Jobs page.
- Patch management rebuilt. Windows updates and third-party applications now share one page with clickable figures for compliance, missing critical updates, restarts pending, application updates, vulnerable applications, failed installs and work in progress. The new Devices tab lets you tick any number of devices and install all missing updates, only critical or security updates, update every application, scan or restart them in one go — or turn the selection into a saved job. Every install has its own progress bar, and rollouts, policies, live activity and history are all on the same page.
Fixes
- Automation templates are where you expect them. The Automations page now has its own template gallery. (The 196 templates some customers remembered are Workflow Rules templates under Platform; they were never on the RMM page and have not changed.)
