Software Updates

The Remote Software Center - Software Updates tab shows software updates available for your devices. You can select individual updates to install or choose to install all missing updates. If multiple devices are selected when opening the Remote Software Center, the updates will start on all selected devices. 

Click the caret to the left of each software update to display the Compliance State and Evaluation State, as well as the Percent Complete and the Error Code of any attempted update that has failed.

To install missing software updates, select the desired updates and click Install. 

After kicking off the remote install, the tool displays progress (of the kick-off, not the installation itself). Devices are sorted according to success.
