Manual Update

The Updates page schedules updates machine IDs licensed to use Kaseya Endpoint Security with the latest version of security protection available. Updates are scheduled automatically. This function is only to review the update status of agents or to force an immediate update check if needed.

Note: Updating security protection cancels any in-process scans and executes the scans immediately after the update.

The list of machine IDs you can select depends on the Machine ID / Group ID filter. To display on this page, machine IDs must have Kaseya Endpoint Security client software installed on the managed machine using the Security > Install/Remove page.

The page provides you with the following actions:

  • Update - Click to schedule an update of selected machine IDs using the update options previously selected.
  • Cancel Update - Click to clear a scheduled update.

Immediate

Check the Immediate box to begin the update as soon as Update is clicked.
