About scheduling critical patches for laptops

About scheduling critical patches for laptops

Workflow for critical patches for laptops

Because laptops are often powered off or disconnected from the network, it can be difficult to find a good time to patch them. The two most popular choices for patching laptops are at the start of the business day or during lunch time.

Most Quest KACE customers patch laptops using two schedules, one for detecting and one for deploying.

Workflow for critical patches for laptops

Workflow for critical patches for laptops

The workflow for applying critical patches to laptops includes identifying devices, identifying patches, scheduling actions, and deploying patches.

Setting up automatic detect and deploy actions consists of the following workflow:

•
Identify critical patches: Create a patch Smart Label to automatically identify critical patches for laptops. See Using Smart Labels for patching.
•
Schedule Detect actions: Create and run a schedule to periodically detect critical patches on laptops. See Configuring patch schedules.
•
Schedule Deploy actions: Create and run a schedule to periodically deploy critical patches on laptops. See Configuring patch schedules.
•
Check patching status: Periodically check patching status using reports and the patch. See Viewing patch schedules, status, and reports.
•
Notify users: Notify users of the patching schedule. You can notify users by sending email and other messaging services outside the appliance Administrator Console. See "Notify users when devices are being patched" in Best practices for patching.

About scheduling non-critical patches

About scheduling non-critical patches

You can configure the appliance to install non-critical patches according to a schedule.

To schedule non-critical patches:

•
Detect patches: Create a patching schedule to detect patches on all devices to determine the size of the patching job. See Configuring patch schedules.
•
Inactivate patches: If there are patches you do not want to deploy, mark them as Inactive.
•
Test patches: Create a schedule to detect and deploy patches to your test devices. See Configuring patch schedules.
•
Identify patches for desktops and servers: Create a patch Smart Label to automatically capture the patches to deploy on servers. See Using Smart Labels for patching.
•
Detect and deploy desktop and server patches (see Configuring patch schedules):
◦
Create a schedule to periodically detect and deploy patches on your desktops.
◦
Create a schedule to periodically detect and deploy patches on your servers.
•
Detect and deploy laptop patches (see Configuring patch schedules):
◦
Create a schedule to periodically detect patches on your laptops.
◦
Create a schedule to periodically deploy patches on your laptops.
•
Check patching status: Periodically check the patching status. See Viewing patch schedules, status, and reports.

Error codes caused by patching and scripting

You can create and configure patch schedules and set a time for them to run. Patch schedules do not interfere with Managed Installations or other distributions.
