How to stop patching from running if ran accidentally (4310976)

Scenario: You are configuring and testing some patch schedules when you accidentally deploy all patches to all machines by mistake.

You need to stop this schedule from reaching all of those machines as quickly as possible.

Delete the patching tasks from the Agent Tasks Queue

1. For systems without Orgs enabled, click Settings | Support | Troubleshooting Tools | See status for K1000 agent tasks (or Display Agent task status)
2. Click View By | Task Type | patch-ORG1-13. You should now be viewing only patching tasks for that patch schedule.
   1. Where ORG1 is the ID of the org, and 13 is the ID of the patch schedule.
   2. NOTE: See Appendix for how to obtain the ID's.
3. Select all tasks, then click Choose Action | Deleted Selected Task(s)

This will prevent any machines that have not had any dependencies pushed down yet to those machines from running any further patching tasks for this run.
