Apply the Patch on Blacklisted Targets or Recomposable Desktops

By default, recomposable desktops are part of the blacklisted targets and all the blacklisted targets are excluded from patch deployment. However, you can apply the patch on blacklisted targets when there is a requirement.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to CA Patch Manager and click the patch that you want to apply on the blacklisted targets.
2. Click Deploy Patch in the Patch Details page.
3. Select the group that contains blacklisted targets or select individual blacklisted targets and add them to the adjacent Selected Targets pane.

   The list of blacklisted targets in the selected group or targets are displayed in the Blacklisted Targets pane.

4. Select the targets on which you want to apply the patch from the Blacklisted Targets pane. Add these targets to the adjacent Selected Targets pane. Click Next.
5. Specify the deployment schedule. Click Next.
6. Clear the Ignore Blacklisted computers in Deployment option. Click Finish.

   The patch deployment on the selected targets begins at the scheduled time.
