Microsoft Windows Patch Management Requirements

Prev Next

If you are using the SysAid server and/or the RDS, make sure you also consider the requirements in the SysAid Server requirements and the RDS requirements.

Example 1: Let's say you are using the SysAid server to manage 600 assets, and 300 of them are Patch Management-enabled. Aside from the 2 GB of RAM and 4 GB of HD space required for the SysAid server, you also require an additional 4 GB of RAM and 10 GB of HD Space for Patch Management capabilities. In total, you would require 6 GB of RAM and 14 GB of HD space for the SysAid Server.

Example 2: Let's say you are using SysAid RDS in one of your branches to manage 200 assets, and 100 of them are Patch Management enabled. Aside from the required 2 GB of RAM and 400 MB of HD space required for the RDS, you will also need an additional 4 GB of RAM and 10 GB of HD Space for Patch Management capabilities. In total, you would require 6 GB of RAM and 10 GB + 400 MB of HD Space for the SysAid RDS.
