Update XProtect components on a single host

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

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 a single host:

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 box before the host that runs the XProtect component on which you want to install an update.

   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 next to the components on which you want to install an update and select Update.

   When the process is complete, the components' status changes to Up-to-date 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.
