Using Patch Management & IT Automation with Mac agents

Patch Management and IT Automation allow you to create and schedule Daily, Weekly, and Monthly periodic maintenance tasks. Each Patch Management & IT Automation profile is made up of one or more Tasks.

Maintenance Tasks can be scheduled for Servers and Workstations. An example of a task is Install Java Update. Due to the differences in Windows and Mac architecture, some tasks cannot be automated on Mac devices.

IT Automation profiles for Mac agents

You can toggle easily and quickly between IT Automation Profile tasks that can be automated on a Mac Agent, and those that can't, e.g. Install Microsoft Office Updates.

1. From Admin (on the side panel), click on Patch Management and IT Automation.

The Patch Management and IT Automation page appears

2. Select your profile, or create a new one by clicking Add Profile.

The Profile page is displayed

On the right-hand side of the Tasks, you'll notice a set of toggle buttons. Toggling between these will flip between Tasks for:

• Windows
• Mac
• All (Default)

4. Click the Mac toggle button, to see all tasks available for Mac devices. Tasks in the selected profile that CANNOT be automated on a Mac Agent are greyed out.
