Software Management > Profiles > Scan and Analysis
The Third-Party Software Updates + OS Updates Patch Strategy configures how updates for Windows and Apple machines are performed on assigned machines. Additionally, it allows to use 3rd party software management.
All agents assigned a Scan and Analysis profile using the Third-Party Software Updates + OS Updates patch strategy must have a Deployment profile assigned to them or 3rd-party software patches will not be deployed.
The schedule section governs only scans of 3rd-party software. It is not related to OS updates configuration defined in the sections below which are applied immediately. At the times specified in the schedule every endpoint assigned to the profile is scanned. The scan checks if software defined in 3rd-Party Software profile is installed and up to date.
OS updates configuration sections are described in detail in Only OS Updates section
