Update Retriever to edit an existing package or create a new package in the repository folder. Update Retriever uses an XML Descriptor file to define when an update package is relevant and how to install the update package. For example, you can create an XML Descriptor file that enables a specific update to be downloaded and installed on a client system depending on the version of the software already installed or existing hardware devices found on the system. After using Update Retriever to customize update packages to fit the needs of your enterprise, import the update packages into the network share repository folder with Update Retriever. On client systems, use System Update to search the network share repository folder for update packages. System Update can then download and install relevant packages from the network share repository folder to client systems.
