  2. Expand the Patches and select a specific Windows operating system.
  3. In the content pane, select a patch.
  4. From the View drop-down list, select Server Usage or Device Group Usage.
  5. From the Show drop-down list, select Servers with Exception or Server Groups with Exception.
  6. In the preview pane, select a server. This server is the source of the copied exception.
