Create a third party updates view

You can use Patch Manager to publish, manage, and deploy third party updates from the Patch Manager server. Create a third party updates view in the Patch Manager Administrator Console to separate these types of updates from the Microsoft updates you normally see in your WSUS console.

   • Updates are from Microsoft Update, Third Parties, or both

   

4. In the Step 2 panel, define the properties.

   1. Select any update source.
