Requirements

Managed Servers must meet the following Windows patching requirements:

  • Windows Installer 3.1 must be installed
  • MSXML 3+ must be installed (MSXML is a general requirement for all Windows managed servers regardless of whether the managed server will or will not use the Windows patching feature).
  • The Windows Update Agent must be installed
  • The Windows Update service must not be disabled but must be set to never check for updates.
