After you enable Patch Management on a device and apply a profile, the N-central agent will configure
the settings for the device and then connect to the specified WSUS server so that the device can be
placed in the correct computer groups.
Approving and Declining Patches
After the configuration of the WSUS system is complete, you can begin approving patches for deployment.
In N-central, patches can be deployed using one of two methods:
• automatically using Automatic Patch Approval rules (for more information, refer to Automatically
Approving Patches on page 27), or
• the Patch Deployment Wizard.
Through the Patch Deployment Wizard, N-central allows you to efficiently deploy patches across a
number of Windows devices (regardless of the customer that they belong to) by completing the following
steps:
1. Filtering and searching available patches to determine which should be deployed.
2. Selecting the approval status to be assigned to patches.
3. Setting a patch deployment deadline (if applicable).
4. Accepting EULAs (End User License Agreements) on a individual patch basis or all at once (if applicable).
5. Confirming your selections.
