Patch Management

 

    Click 'Applications' > 'Patch Management'
      • The patch management area lets you install OS updates and patches for 3rd party applications on managed Windows devices.
        • The area also lets you uninstall Windows updates and patches if you want to roll back to the previous version.
        • You can also create procedures to deploy operating system and 3rd party application patches. The procedures can be added to profiles to automatically install any new patches.
            • Patches need to be approved before it can be deployed on endpoints. Auto-approval is enabled by default.
            • You can choose to decline patches so they are not deployed.
            • You can filter patches by company and device group.


              Tip: This area lets you manage patches across all devices in your network. As an alternative, you can manage patches on individual devices by clicking 'Devices' > 'Device List' > 'Device Management' > Click on a device > 'Patch Management'. See 'View and Install Windows and 3rd Party Application Patches' to find out more.
