Hello Patch My PC team,
I’d like to request that the JAMS Client (Fortra’s JAMS Job Scheduler) be added to your third-party update catalog.
JAMS is a widely-deployed enterprise workload-automation platform used across finance, healthcare, higher-education and manufacturing, so inclusion would benefit many customers, not just our organisation.

JAMS Client details |
|---|---|
Public download |
SetupClientx64.msi is available on the JAMS Support download page. |
Digitally signed |
The installer is code-signed; the setup UI warns only if the certificate chain can’t be validated. |
Format |
Native MSI (SetupClientx64.msi) plus a full EXE bundle. |
Silent install |
Unattended installs are documented and work with standard MSI switches, e.g. |
Reboot control |
A reboot is only needed if the client is open; this can be avoided or suppressed with standard MSI options. |
SYSTEM-level install |
Because it is a pure MSI, it installs cleanly under the SYSTEM account used by SCCM/Intune. |
Custom actions |
None required for the client-only install; no external scripts are needed. |
Complexity
Packaging effort is low: the installer is a single, signed MSI that already supports silent, reboot-suppressed, SYSTEM-level installations. Ongoing maintenance should therefore be straightforward.
Thanks for considering this addition!
