| Description | This article describes how to manually patch vulnerabilities for endpoints through EMS and the whole process. |
| Scope | FortiClient, FortiClient EMS. |
| Solution |
For some vulnerabilities the EMS auto-patch feature doesn't work for them. As in the screenshot below, there is a 'patch' option available to any EMS admin for selection, and this needs admin intervention.
Selecting 'Patch' changes it to to 'Patch Scheduled' immediately. It will then change status to 'Schedule Notified'.
On the client side, it starts downloading and then installing the patch.
Once the patch is installed, it usually requires a system reboot on the client machine.
In the EMS console -> Administrations -> Log Viewer, the vulnerability patch request which has been sent to the client is shown.
