The Update List Wizard in Configuration Manager 2007 adds software updates to a new or existing update list. Using the update list provides several benefits when deploying and monitoring software updates and is, therefore, part of the recommended software updates workflow. For more information, see About Update Lists in Software Updates.
Opening the Update List Wizard
The Update List Wizard is opened by selecting one or more software updates and initiating the Update List action. For more information about finding software updates, see How to Find Software Updates in Configuration Manager.
Properties Configured in the Update List Wizard
The following wizard pages are configurable:
- Update List page: Specifies whether
the selected software updates will be added to a new or existing
update list and whether the updates are downloaded to a deployment
package. When the updates are downloaded, you must specify the
deployment package and download settings. For more information
about these additional wizard pages, see Download Updates
Wizard.
- Security page: Specifies the class and
instance security rights for the update list. This provides the
ability to delegate the task of deploying software update to other
administrators with restricted rights. For more information about
configuring security on update lists, see About Update Lists in
Software Updates.
