Patch locales

The locale of a patch identifies the language of the Windows servers that should receive the patch. A patch with the same name might be available for different locales. For example, a patch named Q123456 might be available for servers running the English and Japanese versions of Windows. Although they have the same name, the patches installed on the English and Japanese servers are different binaries.

Windows patch management supports multiple locales in the same SA multimaster mesh. To install a patch on Windows servers with different locales, you specify the patch by name. During the installation (or policy remediation), SA matches the locale of the patch with the locale of each managed server. You do not need to repeat the installation for each locale.
