5.0 Distribute and Apply Patches

There are two ways to distribute and apply patches to devices in the management zone:

The first option automatically deploys patches based on rules and requirements you define in patch policies. The second option requires you to manually select the patches to deploy and manually configure their distribution. Both options require automated DAU tasks to have a required patch list to draw from.

While using patch policies is the most efficient, preferred, and recommended way to manage patches, Deploy Remediation gives you the flexibility to quickly deploy patches, custom or otherwise, that may not be covered in your patch policies.
