Run Patch when device comes back online

Configure a patch profile to install missed patches when a device comes back online. If a device misses its scheduled patch installation window, Patch Manager creates a new installation window after the device reconnects.

A reboot is not triggered during this installation window. If a reboot is required, it occurs during the next scheduled reboot window.

This setting ensures that critical patches are installed as soon as possible when a device has been offline or away from the network for an extended period.

To configure a patch profile

1. Go to Configuration > Patch Management.

2. In Patch Profiles, select Manage Patch Profiles.

3. On the Profiles page, click the patch profile name you want to edit.

4. In the Configuration tab, under Run Missed Install Windows When Device Comes Back Online, select Run Patch Installation Window If Missed.

5. Set the wait time before the installation window runs.

6. Select Save.

When a device reconnects, Patch Manager installs the scheduled patches after the defined wait time.
