Deploying a program upgrade or hot fix by group, domain, or branch in a large computer network in Worry-Free Business Security (WFBS)

You can deploy a hot fix or service pack by group, domain or branch at your own pace:

1. Group the clients per remote location.
   1. Log in to the WFBS console.
   2. Go to Security Settings > Add Group.
   3. Under Group Type section, select Desktop.
   4. Name the groups.

      Example: "Branch One" and "Branch Two"

   5. Save the changes.
    

   You have the option to export the settings from existing groups.
2. Configure the first group to forbid program/hot fix updates.
   1. On the Security Settings page, select the first group (in this case, "Branch One") and then click Configure.

      For WFBS 9.0, go to the Configure Settings tab.

      

   2. Under Client Privileges, go to the Update Settings or Update Privileges section.
   3. Make sure the Disable program upgrade and hot fix deployment checkbox is ticked.

      For WFBS 9, the Disable Security Agent upgrade and hot fix deployment option should be ticked.

      

   4. Save the changes.
   5. Repeat the steps for the other groups.
3. Move the clients to the appropriate group.
4. Untick Disable program upgrade and hotfix deploymentonly for the group you intend to upgrade.

   For WFBS 9.0, untick Disable Security Agent upgrade and hotfix deployment.

    

5. Install the hot fix or the service pack.
