Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Supported products in the Microsoft patch database
SA Windows Patching supports all Microsoft products, which includes operating systems (OS) and other non-OS products.
Previously, SA Windows Patching only supported OS patches. Most product-specific patches, such as those for MS Office 2010 or MS Word, were not supported. Windows product patches were present in the Microsoft Offline Catalog file (wsusscn2.cab), but they were not uploaded to the SA database when you imported the. cab file.
Now, when you import the Microsoft Offline Catalog file or you connect to a WSUS server, SA retrieves all product-specific patches according to your specified patch products and locales.
Requirements
Product-specific patches can only be installed on servers that have the product installed.
The product installation and upgrade scripts make any necessary configuration adjustments. No additional configuration steps on the core are required.
About unsupported products
Windows Patch Import will only import patches for operating systems (OS) that SA supports. Patches for any unsupported OS will be excluded at import time. This exclusion applies to any unsupported Windows OS as well as any OS-specific product for any unsupported Windows OS. For information on the SA-supported operating systems, see the SA Support and Compatibility Matrix for your version of SA.
Note
The Microsoft patch database may include patches for Windows OS or OS-specific products that SA does not support. These unsupported patches may still appear under Administration > Patch Settings > Patch Products. However, SA excludes unsupported Windows patches from the patch import, even if they are selected in the product selection list.
Identifying product names for missing recommended patches
If the Vendor Recommended Patch Policy (VRPP) recommends any patches for a server that are not included in the imported patches, the compliance scan will show these missing patches in gray. To determine the MS product necessary to import these missing patches, a KB#-to-Product Mapping script is available. Contact SA Customer Support for details.
