HotFix and Patch reporting
There is HotFix/Patch information in the ePolicy Orchestrator properties for each computer. On the ePolicy
Orchestrator Properties tab for each computer, the VirusScan 8.7i General branch displays two entries:
Patch – Displays the current Patch installed.
Fixes - Displays any number of HotFixes listed in the registry.
A check is involved to verify that the HotFix/Patch matches the entry in the registry to the private build description
of the binary. If the two don’t match, the Patch or HotFix does not appear.
NOTE: Currently there are no reports or compliance checks that use this information.
