  • 1.  Patch Management Update Now

    In WSUS there is a command that you can run during an initial rollout of a client. wuauclt.exe /detectnow 

    This command speeds up the cycle of the downloading and installing patches.

    Is there a equal feature or process in Patch management.

    If you need to speed up detection process, you can decrease the time of "Scan Interval"  under - Settings->Software->Patch Management->Adobe/Microsoft settings->Adobe/Microsoft Vulnerability Analysis

    Thanks. I am aware of this setting but don't want to change it.

    What I would like to know is the  command of this policy, I think that might give me the result I am looking for.

    Found this article

    But it seem a bit complicated. Is there any other way to do this?

    Try - "C:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent\Agents\PatchMgmtAgent\AeXPatchUtil.exe /C /I"

    If you have non-default installation directory then change the path to AexPatchUtil.exe correspondingly.

    AeXPatchUtil is the only official way to start the Patch Update
