We mentioned this in our April Patch Blog, but we wanted to do a separate post to make sure everyone sees and understands the implications of this anomaly. Issue: Some Windows 11 machines with 23H2 are not getting the latest Cumulative Updates (CU). Symptom: The machine will appear to be fully patched, not only to Kaseya but also if you run Windows Update. However, if you run a Hot Fix check for either March or April’s CU, neither is installed.

Creating new user or administrator in Kaseya
Every user in Kaseya should have their own log in, but you don’t always want to give these users the same rights (called “Roles“), or give them the ability to see the same groups of machines (called “Scopes“), so this post will show you the basics on how to create your own Kaseya users or…
