When an agent-based test fails on the endpoint, Novell ZENworks Network Access Control wakes up the endpoint client (SMS) which patches the endpoint. Novell ZENworks Network Access Control retests the endpoint. If the test fails again, Novell ZENworks Network Access Control keeps looping until patching completes. If the test passes, Novell ZENworks Network Access Control allows the endpoint access to the network.
NOTE:SMS patch management works with agent-based testing only.
NOTE:Endpoints must be identified in SMS and have the SMS client installed.
