Key Options for Thin Clients:

Check for Security Updates

Select this option to check the target computer for missing Microsoft Windows updates. When you select this option, you can also specify the following options:

Configure Computers for Microsoft Update and Scanning Prerequisites

Select this option to install the current version of the Windows Update Agent on the target computer, if it is absent or out of date, and to configure the target computer to meet other requirements for scanning for security updates.

Scan Using Update Services Servers Only

Select this option to scan only for those security updates that are approved on the computer's assigned Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server. The Microsoft Update website or an offline catalog is not used.

Scan using Microsoft Update Only

Select this option to use only the security update catalog downloaded from the Microsoft Update website to determine the updates to be checked. Updates that are not approved on the computer's WSUS server are reported as though they were approved. If the Microsoft Update website cannot be reached by the client, an error is reported.
