Configuring and importing the Microsoft patch database metadata

Configure the import defaults during the initial import of the Microsoft Patch Database. This section describes how to configure what patches get imported when using the SA Client while importing the initial database meta-data.

Note This section does not describe how to import the actual Microsoft patch binaries. After configuring and importing the metadata, you can import the Microsoft patch binaries by using the SA Client or a command-line script. For information about these activities, see Importing a Windows patch from the SA Client Library and Downloading the Microsoft patch database from the Command Line .

Note Before you can import the Microsoft patch database, you must configure your browser to not use the web proxy when communicating with your SA core. See Prerequisite for importing the patch database and utilities for instructions.

To import the database by using the SA Client:

In the navigation pane, select Administration > Patch Settings.
In the Microsoft tab, select PatchDatabase.
To import the database from the Microsoft web site, click Import from Vendor.

The Import from Vendor window displays the default URL for the location of the database on the Microsoft web site. Click Import. To re-import a new version of the Microsoft database that is released monthly, you must use the default URL.

To import the database from the local file system, click Import from File.

In the Import Microsoft Patch Database window, verify that the file name is wsusscn2.cab and then click Import. This file must have been previously downloaded from the Microsoft web site and copied to the local file system.

Note To be imported, a patch must be in the Microsoft Patch Database that has already been imported into the SA Software Repository. See also, Windows patch database conflict report.
