Hi Everyone
Just wondering if there is was to manually update a patch policy after a new version of an already deployed patch has been deployed to computers?
MS13-057 has been deployed to all of my machines. Since it was deployed in July there has been an update to the patch and a new version has been downloaded to the servers via PMImport. My patch policy for July is still on but now it keeps on attempting to install MS13-057. It is successful each time but when it does a scan again it installs again.
I have not checked the box "Automatically revise Software Update policies after importing patch data" or "Enable distribution of newly added Software Updates". Is there a way to do this manually?
If I Right Click on the bulletin and click on "Recreate Packages" this will not download to the client machines and install will it? It will only download to the server and then will want to be re-sent to the PCs with a new policy. Can I keep the original policy and have it distribute the newly updated MS13-057 patch somehow?
Environment -
NS - Server 2008 R2 Standard - Altiris 7.1 SP2 R4
SQL - SQL Server 2008
Clients - Win 7 and Win XP
Regards
Jason
EDIT - woops I just realised that I have asked a similar question to this before here https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/what-do-you-do-patches-get-updated-after-you-have-deployed-them
Is enabling the above mentioned 2 options still the only way to dsitribute newly updated patch data without creating a new policy?
Sorry for the double post.
