The setting can be configured in File | Agent | Settings... on the Transfer tab.  If you schedule patches for more than 10 computers (for example), PPM will do them 10 at a time.  As soon as the first is done, the 11th will start and so on.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Patches should not be failing because there are too many scheduled at any given time.  It might take a little while for all machines to get the patch since there is a queue, but they should all get them without error.  Or at least without error due to too much traffic.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Something else to look at is to make sure that PPM is installed on a server class operating system.  Workstation OSs only allow 10 concurrent connections, so that could be causing issues as well.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Oct 2007 15:56:12 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>New Boundary Support</dc:creator></item><item><title>How many updates at a time are recommended?</title><link>http://www.nbtnet.newboundary.com/forum/Topic1603-9-1.aspx</link><description>I understand that the amount of data a computer can push and download is depended on it's speed and the network speed, but I find that when trying to update a machine with several dozen updates causes Prism to fail, and that updating several dozen machines with a relatively few number of updates causes Prism to fail.  Normally the updates are stuck in a "pending" mode, while others are unable to connect.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there an optimal recommended amount of updates to push at any given time?</description><pubDate>Wed, 10 Oct 2007 18:28:52 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>jkimball</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
