Transfer Downloaded Patches

I know there was some doubt in the fact that one could copy across all patches to another NS server and it'll be listed as downloaded.

The process is simple.

1. Install your new NS and configure Patch Management.
2. Run Qchain and PMImports.
3. Copy patch files from Updates folder to Updates folder of new NS, if the Updates folder does not exist, create it manually and paste the patches.
4. Use a small patch i.e MS09-003 to test.
5. Click download/stage on the patch and review your log - you should see something similar to that in the screenshot.
