Scheduling Monitor & Agent Updates

You can enable automatic updates of Anyware Monitor and Anyware agents on onboarded machines that are associated with tenants. Automatic updates can be configured in the Opportunistic mode.

In this mode, Anyware Manager Enterprise manages automatic updates, provided that the machine is idle. If the machine is busy at the scheduled time, the update is deferred until the next day.

If Opportunistic mode is not enabled, updates are managed manually. They swill not be controlled by Anyware Manager Enterprise.
