9.8.1 Automating the delivery of program updates

You can automate the downloading of program updates and the delivery of the program updates to a managed computer, according to a security policy established by the administrator.

As a security measure, for example, you can establish a security policy to automate the delivery of program updates to computers where updates have not been applied. The program updates are downloaded from Microsoft Japan, and then the program update files are automatically registered. After that, the program update files are automatically delivered to the computers according to the evaluated security status.

To automate the delivery of program updates:

  1. Display the Security module.

  2. In the menu area, select Security Policy and Security Policy List.

  3. At the top of the information area, click Add.

  4. In the displayed dialog box, click Windows Update.

  5. In the displayed dialog box, select Enable in Install Updates, and then specify Configuration Item, Expected Status, and Violation Level. Next, select Auto Enforce, select Distribute Windows Update (ITDM-compatible distribution), and then click OK.

  6. In Computer Security Status in the menu area, select the group containing the program updates that should be automatically distributed.

  7. At the top of the information area, select the computer where the program updates should be distributed automatically. Next, select Action and then Assign Policy.

  8. In the displayed dialog box, select the security policy that should be assigned, and then click OK.

The program updates are automatically applied to computers where updates have not been applied.
