Patch installation for Windows

The patch installation process consists of two phases:

Download phase - This is when the patch is downloaded from Server Automation to the managed server. This phase is commonly referred to as staging.
Installation phase -This is when the patch is installed on the managed server. This phase is commonly referred to as deployment.

You can specify whether you want the installation to occur immediately after the patch is downloaded (staged) or you can schedule it to occur at a later date and time. Patch management also supports the need for best-effort installations of multiple patches by allowing you to specify that the patch installation process will continue even when an error occurs with one of the patches.

SA displays the name of the command that installs the patch. The SA Agent runs this command on the managed server. You can override the default command-line arguments that you want to perform the installation.

To optimally manage patch installations, patch management enables you to manage server reboot options and pre- and post-installation scripts, simulate (preview) a patch installation, and set up email notifications to alert you about the status of the installation process. The Install Patch wizard guides you through the setup.
