Software Updates Scan Cycle — Client Action on Collection

The Software Updates Scan Cycle initiates a scan just after a software update installation to confirm that the update is no longer required. This action also creates a new state message that the update has been installed.

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. In your Configuration Manager console, right-click on a device collection.

2. Click Right Click Tools > Client Actions on Collection > Software Updates Scan Cycle.

The window that opens displays progress and successful completion.
