Parameter
Description
Deployment Type
Select from this list which type of patch you want to apply. You can install all patches that are currently available, the patches that are recommended to be installed and a specific update. In this case you need to specify the patch to apply in the following field.
Install Specific Update
If you have selected to install a specific patch only in the field above you need to enter the name and version number of the patch to install into this field. Be careful to exactly copy its name, paying attention to capital and small letters and append the version number with a dash to the name, for example, iPhoto-9.4.2 , otherwise it is not installed.
Install from Local Repository
Check this box if the patch is to be installed from a local repository and then enter the URL to it into the field to the right, for example, _
.
Reboot after deployment
Defines if a reboot is previewed after the installation of the last patch package of the patch group. Be aware that if you do not reboot after installation when a reboot is expected by one of the patches installed, this patch is still seen as missing even if you force a scan after install by the option below.
Allow User to Cancel Reboot
Specifies if the user may definitely cancel the reboot of his device.
Allow User to Extend Countdown Timer
Check this box if the user may extend the countdown timer before the patch installation automatically starts.
Initial Countdown Timer (min)
The waiting time in minutes between the pop-up window's first appearance and the actual initialisation of the device reboot.
Countdown Timer Increment (min)
The interval by which the countdown timer is incremented each time the user decides to extend it, if he has been allowed to do so by the option above.
Countdown Timer Maximum (min)
Defines the maximum interval the countdown timer may be extended. If for example the initial value is 2 minutes, the user may each time extend it by 2 minutes as well, and this value is set to 5 minutes, the user may extend the countdown once, 2 min initial 2*2 min extension makes 6 minutes which is higher than the defined 5 minutes.
