Procedure Settings
-
You can run task scripts and patch scripts on Windows devices by adding a 'Procedures' section to a profile.
- Note
- This
section lets you manage
the
procedures on a specific profile. The procedures themselves are
actually created at 'Configuration Templates' > 'Procedures'.
Click
here for help to configure a procedure.

Note also - Make sure patch management isn’t disabled. You check this by looking in the ‘Patch Management’ section of the profile. If the profile doesn’t have such a section, then patching is enabled.
