Software Upgrade Automation

You can automatically download patches, and apply maintenance releases and patches.

To upgrade managed devices, schedule Download, Push, and Install tasks. Make sure you leave adequate time between the tasks; for example, installations scheduled to occur while a push is still running will fail.

This feature is not supported for major releases. When scheduling upgrades to device groups, the upgrade will run on all grouped devices simultaneously.

Note

As part of the initial configuration, the system schedules weekly downloads. We recommend you review this task and make changes if necessary, as described in Automating Software Downloads. This task only downloads the updates. It is your responsibility to install any updates this task downloads.
