Updating the KACE Agent on managed devices

Updating the KACE Agent on managed devices

View KACE Agent updates
Configure Agent update settings
Upload Agent updates manually

The appliance automatically checks with Quest for KACE Agent updates at approximately 03:40 every day. In addition, the appliance checks Quest for Agent updates whenever the appliance is rebooted.

When Agent updates are available, they are automatically downloaded to the appliance, provided that the appliance is connected to the Internet, and an alert appears on the Home page of the appliance Administrator Console. Until you configure deployment settings, however, Agent updates are not automatically deployed to managed devices. Click the link in the alert to configure deployment settings.

In addition, you can check for Agent software updates, obtain Agent updates manually, and configure Agent update settings any time. Obtaining updates manually is useful if your appliance is not connected to the Internet.
