Patch Management Administration Tasks

  1. Enable Patch during the Core installation.
  2. Complete all Patch Management configuration settings from the Configuration tab of the Console.
  3. Perform patch acquisitions from the Core Console Operations tab.
  4. After acquiring patches and publishing them to the Core CSDB, synchronize the content of the Core and Satellite servers using either a scheduled job or a Satellite Console Operations task.
  5. The next time the agents connect, a patch scan is run to discover which bulletins are applicable to which devices. Use the Dashboards and Reports tabs to view the results of the patch scans.
  6. Apply policy to entitle bulletins to your managed devices. The applicable patches will be deployed without user intervention. Use the Dashboards and Reports to see the Patch compliance status of the managed devices.

Once applied, Adobe or Java patches cannot be removed as in case of Microsoft patches. You need to remove the entire Adobe or Java application.
