Frequently asked questions
What is remote Windows update deployment?
Remote Windows update deployment is the process of installing system updates on a single or multiple endpoints from a central console, where the main advantage is that you don’t need physical access to these devices to deploy the patches. IT teams commonly use this approach to keep all endpoints up-to-date and secure, especially in environments with hundreds or thousands of workstations, since it helps maintain their system integrity, remediate vulnerabilities in a short period of time, and significantly simplify update management.
How Can I deploy Windows Updates Remotely to Multiple Computers?
You can deploy Windows updates remotely using reliable and efficient enterprise solutions like Microsoft Intune, Endpoint Configuration Manager, or specialized cloud-native patch management platforms like Action1. These tools enable centralized approval workflows, target distribution to specific device groups, and comprehensive deployment verification across your network. For environments with specific needs and requirements, PowerShell scripting or Group Policy Objects provide complementary deployment options, particularly in hybrid or smaller infrastructures where flexibility is essential.
Can I Schedule Updates to Install During Off-Peak Hours?
Yes, you can schedule update deployments during off-peak hours or at any convenient time to minimize operational disruptions and prevent unexpected downtime. With Action1, your IT team can set precise installation windows that align with your business schedule. The cloud-native platform provides you with granular control to deploy updates on all endpoints or specific device groups based on your organization’s operational requirements.
Can Remote Update Deployment be Automated?
Absolutely. With Action1, your IT team can automate every single step of the patch management process—from missing update identification and prioritization through testing, deployment, and rebooting to comprehensive reporting. Implementing robust patch management software helps your organization escape the vicious cycle of manually patching individual devices and applications across your business environment. This automation takes the never-ending pressure off your IT team’s shoulders while substantially strengthening your company’s overall security posture.
