How to test and deploy Patches in SanerNow #

To deploy the right and compatible patches, SanerNow facilitates testing the patches before applying. Let us know how to test and deploy patches in SanerNow.

  • In create patching task window, click on test and deploy task controls
  • In test criteria, assign the task name and schedule the test immediately, after a scheduled scan, or on a custom date
  • Now, select the devices to test the patches and click on next
  • In deployment criteria, you got three deployment options
  • Deploy manually after test completion

The patches are tested in a test environment and then manually deployed to a production environment.

  • All test deployment succeeded with no failures

This condition states that if all the patches in the test environment are successfully deployed with no failures, the patches are deployed in the production environment.

At least one test deployment succeeded with no failures

In this condition, at least one system in the testing environment has successfully deployed the patches. Later, patches will be deployed in a production environment.

  • You can also schedule the patch deployment by selecting the number of days after the test is completed
  • Now, select the devices to deploy
  • Click on test and deploy selected patches

You have successfully created a task to test and deploy missing patches.
