Policy management

In Windows patch management, patch policies and patch policy exceptions enable you to customize patch distribution in your environment. Policies and exceptions define the Windows patches that should be installed or not installed on your managed servers.

You can choose to have patching in your server environment comply to the model that these policies and exceptions define or you can choose to deviate from this model. If you choose to deviate from the patch policies and exceptions and perform ad hoc patch installs, then you need to remediate. The remediation process ensures that the applicable patches get installed on servers.
