Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle — Client Action on Collection

The Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle initiates a scan of software updates compliance. Before client computers can scan for software update compliance, the software updates environment must be configured.

This action can be run on device collections, or using a similar tool designed for single and multi-selected devices.

To run this tool:

1. Right-click on a device collection.

2. Select Right Click Tools > Client Actions on Collection > Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle.

The window that opens displays progress and successful completion.
