Revoking updates

Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud allows you to select the updates that will be installed on managed devices.

You can approve updates that must be installed and skip updates that must not be installed. You can also revoke an update approval, for example, if the update installation resulted in application malfunction.

You can revoke updates only if the Installation mode value in the update installation settings is Install approved updates only, and the Installation schedule value is Every week or Every day.

You can revoke a single update or several updates at once.

To revoke one update:

  1. Open Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Management Console.
  2. Select the Security management → Vulnerability Assessment and Patch Management section.
  3. Under Patches and updates, click the View button.
  4. Click the name of the required update that has the Planned or In progress installation status. If necessary, you may first select the respective value in the Installation status filter.

    The Update properties window opens.

  5. Click the Revoke approval link.

The update is revoked. Its installation status changes to Approval pending. Revoked updates are not installed on managed devices.

If an update has already been installed on some devices before it is revoked, the update is not uninstalled from the devices. It simply will not be installed on other devices in future.

To revoke several updates at once:

  1. Open Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Management Console.
  2. Select the Security management → Vulnerability Assessment and Patch Management section.
  3. Under Patches and updates, click the View button.
  4. Select the check boxes next to the required updates that have the Planned or In progress installation status. If necessary, you may first select the respective value in the Installation status filter.
  5. Click the Revoke button.

The selected updates are revoked. Their installation status changes to Approval pending. Revoked updates are not installed on managed devices.

If an update has already been installed on some devices before it is revoked, the update is not uninstalled from the devices. It simply will not be installed on other devices in future.
