Identify desktops: Create a Smart Label that identifies all devices that are desktops. This excludes servers and laptops. See Add a Smart Label for desktops. |
• |
Identify servers: Create a Smart Label that identifies all servers. See Add a Smart Label for servers. |
• |
Identify critical OS patches: Create a Smart Label that identifies all critical OS patches. See Add a Smart Label for critical OS patches. |
• |
Schedule detect and deploy actions: Schedule a detect and deploy job that identifies whether the devices in the Smart Label need to be updated, deploys critical patches to them, and forces a reboot if required. See Configuring patch schedules. |
• |
Deploy patches individually to servers: Schedule a job that deploys patches to servers as needed. See Configuring patch schedules. |
• |
Notify users: When you schedule patching, be sure to notify users of the schedule so that they know when the devices they use are being patched. This is especially important if devices need to be restarted and might be unavailable as part of the patching process. You can notify users by sending email and other messaging services outside the appliance Administrator Console. See Best practices for patching. |
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. |
