Configure patch policies

Patch policies and patch policy exceptions enable you to customize which patches are distributed for installation in your environment.

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.
