Abstract
A system and machine-implemented method for providing a software update within a network comprising plural computing devices. A subset of the plural computing devices is identified for installation of the software update. The software update is provided to the computing devices within the subset for installation. After providing the software update, a software version or a connectivity status is obtained for at least one of the computing devices within the subset. A determination is made that the software update is invalid based on the obtained software version or connectivity status.
