  2. Expand Ubuntuand select a specific Ubuntu operating system.

    The content pane displays all patch policies associated with that operating system.

  5. In the Show drop-down list in the content pane, select Servers with Policy Attached.

  6. In the preview pane, select one or more servers.

  7. From the Actions menu, select Remediate.
