Scheduling Monthly Patch Installation

Patch Job Windows are timeframes that you define in which the patch job installs the missing patches on the target devices. You can schedule daily installation windows, weekly or monthly ones or you can switch off the schedule as we have done for our main patch job example. This option defines a window that allows the patch packages to be transferred to the target devices at any time so as to be ready when the time of the patch window arrives. This window allows the installation to start every second Saturday of the months at 1 o'clock in the morning and run its course until all missing patches are installed as no end time will be specified.

  1. Select the Patch Management > Patch Jobs > Your Patch Job node in the left tree hierarchy.
  2. In the right pane click the Patch Window link.
  3. Select the Monthly option under the Recurr: parameter of the Deployment Schedule panel.
  4. In the table that appears to the right-click the 2nd cell and the last S which stands for Saturday.
  5. Select the Deploy only during this time radio button of the Time Period panel.
  6. In the now accessible list box select the option Allow files to be downloaded to devices prior to start time .
