Configuring the updating policy

Updating policies enable you to keep your computers up to date with your chosen security software. Enterprise Console checks for updates and updates computers, if necessary, at a specified interval.

The default updating policy enables you to install and update the software specified in the “Recommended” subscription.

If you want to change the default updating policy or create a new updating policy, follow the instructions in the following topics:

Select a subscription
Configure update servers
Schedule updates
Select a different source for initial installation
Log updates

Note: If you use role-based administration:

You must have the Policy setting - updating right to configure an updating policy.
You cannot edit a policy if it is applied outside your active sub-estate.

For more information about role-based administration, see Managing roles and sub-estates.
