This additional step is not necessary for the policy because you
schedule it as part of its configuration.
This report lists the computers that had Windows Installer applications
with inaccessible source paths during the most recent scan. Use this
report to identify the changes that you need to make to resolve
inaccessible source path problems. This report is one of the Application

You can update the source paths of Windows Installer applications with resilient
source paths by configuring a Source Path Update policy. Configuring the policy
is a step in the process of updating the source paths of Windows Installer
applications.
See "Updating the source paths of Windows Installer applications"
After you configure the policy, it runs as scheduled on the specified computers
or for the specified users. If you schedule the policy to repeat, it can continue to
check and update the source paths.
