Using the Agent
When installed on a device, the Agent scans that device for vulnerabilities and
communicates the results of the scan to your Patch Management Server. The results
returned to Patch Management can be viewed at any time, even if the workstation is
disconnected from your network. The scan results are used, by ZENworks Patch
Management, to determine a vulnerability's applicability for each device. If a vulnerability is
applicable, ZENworks Patch Management will display the device as Not Patched.
After installing the Patch Management Agent, there is generally, no additional user
interaction required at the device.
