The Patch Status page provides a summary view of the patch status for each of your managed machines. You can quickly identify machines that are missing patches or are indicating errors. The total of all missing patches is the sum of the Missing Approved, Missing Denied, and Missing Manual.
Patch Test
Most patch problems are the result of configuration and/or permission issues. The test function exercises the entire patch deployment process without actually installing anything on the target machine or causing a reboot. If a machine ID's operating system does not support patching, the operating system is displayed. Each count in the paging area is hyperlinked. Clicking a count's hyperlink displays a list of all patches that make up that count.
