Mark as High Priority

Starting with Interactive Update 2.0 SU 5 and continuing with Interactive Update 2015 R1 and later, you can mark one or more updates as High Priority, to be pushed to all client machines the next time they connect to the local provider, regardless of the client machine configuration settings. The High Priority designation is intended for emergency or critical updates that cannot wait for users to accept them or for download/install times set the administrator to occur.

Starting with Interactive Update 2016 R1, if a user on a client machine manually checks for updates when a high priority update is available, the user can select to install the update now or later. If the user selects to install later, the high priority update installs at the time of the next scheduled update.

To mark an update as High Priority:

1. Highlight one or more updates, right-click, and select Mark as High Priority.

   

2. If multiple updates were downloaded, a dialog lists the updates to be marked as High Priority. Click OK.

   The Updates data grid refreshes. The Status column shows the High Priority designation for these updates.
