If you want it to work like WSUS do this:   (and I dont recommend you make it work like WSUS....the big advantage of LANDesk patching is that it's much more flexible)

 

  • Go into Patch and Compliance
  • Click the Gear Icon on the toolbar
  • Choose "Definition Group Settings"
  • Add a rule with these parameters:
    • Vulnerability
    • Critical
    • Comparison:   Vendor Contains "Microsoft"
    • Set Status:  Scan
    • Set AutoFix
  • Create another rule with the same settings except Severity:  Important/High

 

Now every time  LANDesk downloads a patch from Microsoft that is High or Crtiical, it will automaticlly deploy to all devices.  (unless you dont have AutoFix enabled on your "Scan and Repair Settings")

I guess this depends on your risk apetite. In my organization, nothing gets deployed to end users if it has not passed an internal QC check and 2 additional rounds of UAT testings.
