Client Management Suite

Hello,

In the Software Catalog, on a software release, there is a tab where I can see the updates or/and service packs applicables.

Can I install it automatically ? Is there a mechanism between Software Management and Patch ?

What is the best method to install these updates with a software release ?

Thanks a lot !

If you create software resources that are updates or service packs, and then associate them with a different software resource by selecting them in the Associations tabs as Service Packs or Software Updates, then when deploying the Software Resource you can select these associated resources to be deployed with the software, thus ensuring it is up to date.

Regarding patch management, Service Packs and all updates are included for 20-25 vendors (Microsoft, Adobe, Java, Skype, Apple, Google, Mozilla, Foxit, RealPlayer, WinZip, etc), so you don't need to worry about packaging those independently.  If you did want to make sure they were included in a deployment, however, you could create the association yourself between the Software Resource and the updates and service packs created by Patch Management.

Does this answer your question?

My goal is to get a software patched right after his deployment. Iam not interestet in waiting until the PatchMGMT is going trough each patch. Best example is the Adobe Acrobat 9. I have the source software in version 9.0.0 that is deployed for some computer on request. After the base sw installation i would like to patch it directly to version 9.4.6 (for example) My idea was to use the already downloaded and used onces from the PatchMGMT solution. You can see them on this picture: Attachment The problem is that all of them are marked as Red and it looks like there is no package connected to it. Can someone advice to make use of the PatchMGMT patches in software delivery's? Thanks
