Patch Mgmt > Machine Update

Machine Update and Patch Update are the primary system controls used to individually schedule patch deployment. Machine Update gives you the single machine view. Use it to work with a specific machine. Patch Update gives you the patch view. Use it to deploy a patch to all the machines that are missing a particular patch.

Usage:

• Click on the machine ID you wish to schedule patch deployment for.

• Only missing patches are shown. Patches are grouped by product.

• Check the box next to any/all patches you wish to deploy to the selected machine id.

• Select a time to deploy the selected patches.

• Click the Schedule button to install the patches at the selected time.

• Click the Cancel button to remove any pending patch install tasks.

Note: If you have a credential set (using the Set Credential function), that all patches are installed using the rights of that credential.
