Configuring the UpdateService

The Groups column displays all groups managed by the UpdateService alphabetically. The default group contains all UpdateAgents (clients) not assigned to a group.

Clients in the default group are updated automatically. Clients that should not receive updates or patches have to be located in a separate group (see Configuring a group).

  1. Click on a group folder icon to display the status overview of all clients within the group. Am colored bullet point shows the current status of each client:
  2. Click on a client name to display the installed components (e.g. the system software, the software version, the status, and the installed patches).
  3. Click Refresh list to see a more current status.
  4. Click Configure group to create, rename or delete a group and specify the group's update and patch settings (see Configuring a group).
  5. Click Delete clients to remove clients that do not connect to the UpdateService anymore. The clients will not be deleted axiomatically.
Manually starting the update or patch process

If a group is configured to be updated or patched manually, Start patch/update at the UpdateAgents is displayed in the group's status pane.

  1. Click Start patch/update at the UpdateAgent to start the update.
    It will require up to 60 seconds before the update process is started.
