Problem: Microsoft releases a hotfix (.msu file) that needs to be applied to systems that are vulnerable.

Solution: Use wusa.exe to install the .msu file through a K1000 managed install. For this example, KB2460922 was used.

1. Download the hotfix file from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2460922
2. In this case, run the .exe file to extract the hotfix .msu file.
3. Install the hotfix on a test machine and force a check-in/inventory update to the K1000.
4. Upload the .msu file to the software inventory item titled "Hotfix for Microsoft Windows (KB2460922)". It will be under View By>Type>Patch Software.
   
   
   
   
5. Select any operating systems you wish to deploy to in the software item.
6. Create a MI using the following parameters:

• • Select "Hotfix for Microsoft Windows (KB2460922)" in the software drop-down.
  • Select the radio button for "Configure Manually".
  • For the installation command, use: wusa.exe /quiet /norestart Windows6.1-KB2460922-v2-x64.msu
    NOTE: To see how to get the options, see the section below the MI.
    
  • Check the box for "Don't Prepend msiexec.exe".
  • Set the managed action to "Execute Anytime".
  • Assign machines that need to have the hotfix applied.
  • Set any other parameters that are needed.
  • Save.
    
    

Once the targeted systems run the MI, the patch will show up in computer inventory under Software>Installed Patches via Inventory.
