About Patch Management Solution for Mac

Patch Management Solution for Mac lets you scan Mac computers for the updates

that they require. The solution then reports on the findings and lets you automate

the downloading and distribution of needed software updates. You can distribute

all or some of the updates.

Patch Management Solution for Mac can update only the software that is supported

by the Mac OS X Software Update utility. The solution integrates with the Software

Update utility, and lets you collect needed updates information from the target

Mac computers and initiate software update. Mac computers download software

updates from Apple and report installation status to Notification Server.

Patch Management Solution for Mac provides you with the pre-configured rollout

jobs that let you automate installing a large number of updates. For example, the

pre-configured rollout jobs can install all updates, all recommended updates, and

so on.
