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 Install updates for an XProtect component on some or all endpoints.
Before you install updates on a host, verify that the update agent is authorized to do this action. See Authorize update agents to install updates on hosts.
To install updates on a single host:
On the Updates tab, download the updates for your XProtect components by selecting
.Important
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.
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, search by hostname or filter the results by host status, component name, or component version.
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 Install.
When the process is complete, the components' status changes to Up-to-date, and the status icon becomes green.
Note
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.
