Create a patch policy

A patch policy is a set of patches that should be installed on a managed server. When it is first created, a patch policy contains no patches and is not attached to servers.

To create a patch policy:

  1. In the navigation pane, select Library > By Type > Patch Policies.
  2. Select a specific Windows operating system.
  3. From the Actions menu, select Create Patch Policy.

    The name of the policy you just created is New Patch Policy n, where n is a number based on the number of New Patch Policies already in existence.

  1. In the content pane, open the New Patch Policy.

(Optional) In the Name field of the Properties, enter a name that describes the purpose or contents of the policy.
