Pushing updates to installed clients automatically
Administrators can push a uniform set of updates and features to all clients automatically each time users log in to Sametime®. This distribution method is supported for all features except the Sametime Office Integration for Microsoft™ Office features and patches.
Before you begin
Note: This function is for
updating specific parts of the client software such as feature plug-ins, and cannot be used to
update the entire client program. For updating the entire client, use the stand-alone installation
program.
