Patch administration

As a best practice in your data center environment, you should customize patch administration for Windows so that you can:

  • Specify whether you want patches immediately available for installation by using a command-line script or the SA Client.
  • Import the Microsoft patch database on demand by using a command-line script or the SA Client.
  • Customize the icon display of policy compliance scan results.
  • Easily find servers that require a reboot.
  • Track and import only patches that apply to certain Microsoft products or particular locales.
  • Import and export Windows patch utilities.
  • Manually launch on demand or schedule periodic policy compliance scans to determine the patch state of your managed servers.
