The Windows Installer Source List Update Cycle prompts the Product Source Update Manager to complete a full update cycle.
When installing an application using Windows Installer, the application returns by default to its Windows Installer source location when it needs to install new components, or repair/update the application. The Windows Installer Source Location Manager can automatically search Configuration Manager distribution points for the source files, even if the application was not originally installed from a distribution point.
This action can be run on single and multi-selected devices, or with a similar tool designed for device collections.
To run this tool:
1. Right-click on a device.
2. Select Right Click Tools > Client Actions > Windows Installer Source List Update Cycle.
The window that opens displays progress and successful completion.

Microsoft Permissions
- Requires that the target device has a working ConfigMgr client installed.
- Requires that the user running the ConfigMgr console has administrative access to the remote device.
- Remote WMI ports must be allowed through the firewall.
- If the 'Ping Computer Before Running Tools' option is set, ICMP Echo must be allowed through the firewall.
- If using a Recast Management Server with a proxy, the service account will need administrator permissions on the remote device.
One way around some of the permissions requirements and firewall rules is installing a Recast Agent.
