- Do you want to throttle their bandwidth so downloading patches does not slow down user’s productivity? If so, read https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/bigfix-throttle-network-traffic-brad-sexton/
- Do you want to display a message notifying users that patches needing to be installed?
- Do you want to impose a deadline to install the patches?
- Do you want to force a reboot after the deadline or do you want to keep an annoying window on top so they do it on their own?
