Run Patch when device comes back online
Configure a Patch Profile so that if a device has missed its scheduled patch installation window, this feature will run a new scheduled patch installation window once that device comes back online. A reboot will not be triggered as part of the scheduled patch installation window created by this feature; if a reboot is required following this installation, then it will be executed during the next scheduled reboot window. When a device has been offline or away from the office for an extended period of time and missed a patch maintenance window, this ensures that any critical patches are installed as soon as possible when the device connects to the network again.
- Click Configuration > Patch Management.
- In the Patch Profiles area, click Manage Patch Profiles and click the patch profile name.
- In the Run Missed Install Windows When Device Comes Back Online section, click Run Patch Installation Window If Missed and set the time to wait before running installation window.
- Click Save.
When a device returns to the office, after the defined wait time, Patch Manager will begin updating the device with the scheduled patches.
