Management Solution for Windows then creates a software update package for
each software update. From the staged software bulletins , you must create
Software Update policies to distribute software update packages to the appropriate
computer filters (previously known as collections). When a managed computer
receives a Software Update policy, it verifies that the update is needed, then
downloads the software update package from the Notification Server computer.
The managed computer then installs the update. At an interval, the Software
Update policy is re-evaluated and software updates are reinstalled if needed. For
example, if an operation removes a software update, it is reinstalled. Or if a vendor
revises a software update, it is reinstalled.
After the Software Update Plug-in distributes software updates, it sends results
of patch deployment to the Notification Server computer. This information can
be viewed through reports and the dashboard. You can configure part or all of
Patch Management Solution for Windows to automatically download and install
future software updates. When configuring the solution you should consider
possible effects on your network environment. Distribute new updates to a test
environment first.
