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. |
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. |
• |
Check patching status: Periodically check the patching status. See Viewing patch schedules, status, and reports. |
