Issue:
How to schedule Business Suite Software Updater to check missing updates and install updates automatically to computers with Client Security and servers with Server Security?
Resolution:
By default Business Suite Client Security and Server Security scan for missing Software Updater updates at Windows startup and then once per day. You can change the rescanning time by following these steps:
- Log in to the Policy Manager Console
- Select a host or policy domain from the Domain Tree
- Go to the Settings tab
- Navigate to the Windows > Software updater settings page
- In the General section, modify the Maximum rescanning period
- Distribute the policy (Ctrl +D)
By default, installation of software updates is manually triggered by the Policy Manager administrator or by the local user if they have been given the "Show Software updater options to users" rights. To automatically install updates:
- Log in to the Policy Manager Console
- Select a host or policy domain from the Domain Tree
- Go to the Settings tab
- Navigate to the Windows > Software updater settings page
- Scroll down to the Automatic installation section and change the Install updates automatically to one of the following
- All security
- Critical and important
- Critical
- All missing
- Then from the "Install every" and "installation time" drop-down menus you can select the appropriate installation date and time
- Distribute the policy (Ctrl + D)
You can exclude specific updates from being automatically installed with the "Exclude software from automatic installation" feature. Note that this does not hide the update itself, so the installation of the update can still be manually triggered by the Policy Manager administrator or by the local user.
