Chapter 7 Getting ZENworks Patch Management Working in Your Environment

This chapter provides a walk-through of how to get ZENworks Patch Management up and running quickly in your environment. ZENworks Patch Management is powered by PatchLink software, which analyzes each workstation to determine the patches needed and then delivers those patches. ZENworks Patch Management determines all the patches that may be required through connectivity and publications of patches from PatchLink back-end servers over the Internet.

Before beginning this chapter, verify that you installed ZENworks Patch Management by following the instructions specified in Chapter 2, “Installing ZENworks 7 Suite.”
