Users Guide

NOTE: For applying system updates on target systems running a Windows operating system
with the User Account Control (UAC) feature enabled:
• If the target system is part of a Domain, you must provide the credentials of either the
Domain Administrator or a member in the Administrators group. Do not provide the
credentials of the local, non-domain account on the target system, even if the account is in
the Administrators group.
• If the target system is not part of a Domain, you must provide the Administrator credentials.
If you want to provide the credentials of a non-default Administrator account, ensure that
the Remote WMI permissions are enabled for that user account.

Windows workgroup environment, enter <LocalHost\Administrator> and the password
In a Linux environment, enter root and password. If you want to apply system updates using sudo,
