Expand all | Collapse all

This step is not displayed if you do not have the Vulnerability and patch management license and the Find vulnerabilities and required updates task already exists.

For third-party software updates, select one of the following options:

• Search for required updates

  The Find vulnerabilities and required updates task is created automatically, if you do not have one.

  This option is selected by default.

• Find and install required updates

  The Find vulnerabilities and required updates and Install required updates and fix vulnerabilities tasks are created automatically, if you do not have ones.

  This option is only available under the Vulnerability and patch management license.

For Windows Update updates, select one of the following options:

• Use the update sources defined in the domain policy

  Client devices will download Windows Update updates according to your domain policy settings. Network Agent policy is created automatically, if you do not have one.

• Use Administration Server as a WSUS server

  Client devices will download Windows Update updates from the Administration Server. The Perform Windows Update synchronization task and Network Agent policy are created automatically, if you do not have ones.

  This option is only available under the Vulnerability and patch management license.

You can create the Find vulnerabilities and required updates and Install required updates and fix vulnerabilities tasks separately from the quick start wizard. To use Administration Server as the WSUS server, create the Perform Windows Update synchronization task, and then select the Use Administration Server as a WSUS server option in the Network Agent policy.
