    3. Patches dumping to root?

    Sorry, that's not true.   Patches that come down through WSUS drop into the .\softwaredownload folder for installation, not in the root of the C: drive.   As you can see, we have up to a year's wor...

    3. Revit 2021r1 install

    The account that PDQ runs under has to have rights to the share or it will fail.   I found it easier to copy all my files down to the box, run locally, and then remove the files when I was done.  T...

    PDQ Report HTML Formatting

    2. PDQ Inventory

    3. Querying Heartbeat Status?
