9.8.5 Registering program update files
When program updates are manually registered and are to be delivered, program update files must be registered.
- Tip
-
When the management server can access the Customer Support and Microsoft Japan websites, and when program updates are set to be delivered by security policy-based tasks, the program update files that are to be delivered will be registered automatically at the time when an auto-enforce executes.
- Tip
-
When registering program update files that are not displayed in the Update List view, you need to register program update information beforehand. For details about registering program update information, see 9.8.3 Manually adding program updates to the Update List.
- Tip
-
When registering the program update file related to program update information that was registered manually, or when the management server cannot access the Internet, you need to download the execution file for the program update from the Microsoft Japan website beforehand.
If the Update List is being updated offline, you can download program updates by displaying the Windows Update view, go to the Windows Update Information page, and click Execution File Download URL.
To register program update files:
-
Open the Security module.
-
In the menu area, select Windows Update, and then Update List.
-
In the information area, select the program for which you want to register the program update file, and then from the Action, select Register Windows Update File.
-
In the displayed dialog box, enter the information about the program update to be registered, and then click the OK button.
The program update file will be registered, and ![[Figure]](GRAPHICS/ZU990176.GIF)
is displayed in the Registration Status column of the list.
Note that the registered program update files are not added to the Package List view of the Distribution module. The program update files can be distributed only by the auto-enforce set in the security policy. Tasks for distributing program update cannot be created manually. Executed tasks can be checked in the Distribution module.
