Selecting Windows products to track for patching

You can limit the patches tracked by HPE Server Automation to specific Windows products. When you import the Microsoft Patch Database, any new patches listed by SA are limited to the products that you selected. Patches that were previously listed by SA are still tracked. You can also track patches for Windows Update Agent (WUA).

To limit the patches tracked to specific Windows operating systems, run the command‑line script that automatically imports patches. See Downloading the Microsoft patch database from the Command Line for more information about the script.

To select Windows products to track for patching by using the SA Client:

  1. In the navigation pane, select Administration> Patch Settings.
  2. In the Microsoft tab, select Patch Products and then click Edit.
  3. In the Edit Patch Products window, use the include (+) and exclude (-) arrows to select the products whose patches you want to import.
  4. Click OK to save your settings.
