The following Microsoft Data Feed Prioritization settings are configured in the Vendor Settings section to support and prioritize the available Microsoft update repositories and methods for acquisition and download.
Note: For more information on Microsoft patch management activities, see the Patch Acquisition chapter in the HP Client Automation Enterprise Patch Management Reference Guide.
If you change to this option, a warning message will open indicating the following:
“The Microsoft Update Catalog Only feed was selected. Only select this option if ALL managed devices in your enterprise meet minimum operating system and service pack levels supported by Microsoft Update Catalog.”
Click Yes to acknowledge the warning and Click Save to confirm.
Note: Patches hosted in the HP Legacy Catalog may require HP metadata correction. If you choose to enable the Microsoft Update Catalog, Legacy Catalog option Microsoft security bulletins deemed applicable to legacy Microsoft Operating systems (including Service Pack variants) and Microsoft products will have a “_L” appended to the Microsoft bulletin name for identification purposes within the Configuration Server PATCHMGR Domain as well as Patch Manager reports as viewed through the Reporting Server.
Caution: Office patches that are acquired and managed using Microsoft Update Catalog technologies will not detect if Office Applications are managed by HP Client Automation Application Self-service Manager or an Administrative Control Point. In either case, if a bulletin affecting an Office application is entitled to a device, Patch Manager will manage the Office patch and install it locally on the devices that are vulnerable.
