Install hotfixes for an XProtect component on some or all hosts

You can install hotfixes on one, some, or all XProtect components that run on multiple hosts. To install hotfixes on a single host, see Install hotfixes for an XProtect component on a single host.

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

To install hotfixes on some or all hosts:

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

   If you have not downloaded any hotfixes for the components that run on a host, the host will appear as All 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 hotfixes.

   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 Available Updates panel, select the check boxes in front of the components you want to install a hotfix 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 hotfix requires a host restart, the host status icon becomes yellow. To complete the update, you must restart the host. You will not be able to install new hotfixes before restarting the host.
