All of a sudden, some PCs in my environment are showing that they have installed the latest update but PDQ is not showing them as on the latest version.

It appeards this is a fairly new feature that uses a different patch that will not require a reboot (which is good) but I now have no way to see what PCs are updated in PDQ Inventory.

I managed to create my own variable and manually map the patch to it but this is going to need to be manually updated every month as new updates are released.

Is PDQ going to be adding this to the existing "Cumulative Update (25H2)" group every month so I dont need to keep remembering to change this?

Does anyone have a recomendation for a system to use for scanning barcodes for school events?

We have a graduation ceremony coming up that is very limited to attendance and they usually just print out invitations that have to be presented at the door but in recent years people are just photocopying them to sneak more family members into the event.
Of course, they think anything that involves technology is ITs responsibility so its landed on my lap (3 weeks before the event).
We are looking for a way to barcode phycisal tickets (we have a print/copy center so we do this ourselves) and have multiple staff members stationed at entrences to scan tickets to prevent duplicate entry.

Here is the catch, they already printed the tickets up with unique barcodes and tested it with a "free app" but of course the person that did all this work doesnt understand that the scanner needs to connect to a database of known tickets so that when its scanned, it wont allow a repeat scan form another location. Basically, they are able to scan a unique ticket barcode but it doesnt mark it as "used" after scanning it so someone else can scan it again.
