Update XProtect components on some or all hosts

You can install updates on one, some, or all XProtect components that run on multiple hosts. To install updates on a single host, see Update XProtect components on a single host.

Before you install updates on a host, verify that the update agent is authorized for that action. See Authorize update agents to install updates on hosts.

To install updates on some or all hosts:

1. On the Updates tab, download the updates for your XProtect components by selecting .

   If you have not downloaded any updates for the components that run on a host, the host will appear as Up-to-date in the Hosts tab.

2. On the Hosts tab, select the check boxes before the host names of the hosts on which you want to install the updates.

   To see the components that run on a host in the host components panel on the right, select the host name.

   To find a host quickly, you can search by host name, or filter the results by host status, component name, or component version.

3. In the Components to update and install panel, select the check boxes in front of the components you want to install an update on and select Update.

   When the process is complete, the components' status changes to Up-to-date in the host components panel and the status icon becomes green.

   If the update requires a host restart, the host status icon becomes yellow. You must restart the host to complete the update and install new updates.
