About the Software Update Plug-in

The Software Update Plug-in manages all of the Patch Management Solution for
Windows functionality on a managed computer. When the Inventory Rule Plug-in
(distributed by default by Notification Server) reports that a certain software
update is required for a managed computer, the update is sent to the Software
Update Plug-in. The Software Update Plug-in ensures that the update is applicable
and not already installed, then installs it.
After you install the Software Update Plug-in on a managed computer, a new tab,
Software Updates, appears in the Altiris Agent window. This tab displays the
status software updates for that computer. To open the Altiris Agent window,
click the Altiris Agent icon in the system tray of the managed computer.
