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.
Examples: In a Windows domain environment, enter <Domain\Administrator> and password. In a 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, select Enable Sudo and
update the SSH port number.
NOTE: Before you apply system updates using sudo, create a new user account, edit the sudoers file using the
visudo command, and add the following:
