7.0 Manage Patches

In the Patches page you can view and take actions on patches that display as a result of the DAU fingerprints that come from devices in the zone. These are manual actions you can do directly from the Patches page, or you can create patch policies in the Patch Policies page that do the patch actions automatically based on the schedules you define in patch policies and patch configuration. In ZENworks there is a Patches page to view the zone level patches and a Patches page to view the device level patches.

Manual actions in the Patches page include searching for patches, creating new patches from existing bundles, caching patches, and then deploying patches to managed devices. You can also do several house keeping functions to maintain the usefulness of the Patches page, including deleting, disabling, enabling, and even exporting patch entries. You can also refresh assignments using this page.
