下載Patch Deployment is a process which involves the deployment of hotfixes/patches that are released from time to time. With networks becoming more and more vulnerable to malific attaks, software vendors keep releasing umpteen patches to secure networks that run their applications. Industry survey reports, the average vulnerability-to-exploit window to be less than a week. Network Managers need to really act fast to patch their systems to safety. Desktop Central handles this issue in an efficient way by offering a variety of patch deployment options viz, Patch/System based deployments, scheduled/autmated deployment, etc. In our discussion further, we will understand the nuances of each of these methods.

Desktop Central provides detailed information about missing patches in the Network. Patch based deployment options facilitate Network administrators to deploy patch on all the vulnerable systems applicable. Network administrators can look at the severity level indicated and decide on the patches that need to deployed immediately.
Desktop Central application provides a detailed view on the healthy and vulnerable systems in the network. System based deployment option enables desktop administrators to deploy all the missing patches in a selected set of systems in the network.
The scheduled patch deployment allows administrators to trigger the patch deployment process at a desired time. Network Managers can schedule the activity based on criteria like network resource utilization, availability of Roaming/Mobile users like sales executives at the office,etc, and also address peak-hour productivity loss concerns in an efficient way. The method also offers the flexibility for the administrator to make a choice on the essential patches to deployed viz. all patches applicable to a set of systems / all vulnerable systems in which patches are missing.
The fortnightly release of Microsoft Patches makes manual patch deployment a tedious process. Desktop Central's Automated Patch Deployment offers options for network managers to fully automate patch related activities A-Z. Right from synchronizing the Vulnerability database to the extent of scanning and deploying missing patches, no manual intervention is needed. Being a one time scheduling process, the procedure facilitates enhanced time and resource utilization. One other advantage is the flexibility to enforce Patch Deployment on computers in a selected group or department. For example, you may want the desktops in your Finance department to be intact and patches be deployed without delay.
Deployment of certain patches that are related to OS components, may force an immediate reboot; a critical operation for many environments especially when production servers are involved. Desktop Central offers a flexlible Reboot Policy that allows administrators to customize reboot after patch deployment. The Desktop Central application offers a choice of the following reboot options:
However there is also a default option for not rebooting the system after the patch deployment.
