So I don't use it for patching but I do use it in my OS upgrade task sequences. The 3rd party disk encryption has been our biggest headache with the OS upgrades...luckily McAfee has provided some tools so that we can inject drivers and disable pre boot authentication until the task sequence is finished. The autoboot utility works very well as we are using it, disable pre boot in the beginning and the last step is to re enable pre boot.
If you figure out a way to do it with patching I would be very interested.

This is an admin tool from McAfee to allow devices to bypass the manual pre-boot login. I am wondering what method you might be using to put the device into autoboot prior to the SW Updates Deployment and setting it back after. Cordell Melin
