      This section covers the required steps for upgrading a Windows agent to the latest Update Rollup version.

      The current patch level of an agent can be checked in the Operations Manager Console under Administration -> Operations Manager Products -> Agent.

      • Under Type: Agent Requires Update select the Windows server and in the Tasks pane click Approve.

      • In the Update Agents window verify that Use selected Management Server Action Account is selected (provided that the Action Account has administrative privileges on the Windows server, otherwise select an appropriate Other user account and fill in the login credentials)and then click Update:
