Overview
If a desktop client's Autoupdate feature has been disabled (by modifying the update.ini file), administrators can still manually run updates. A desktop client can be updated by launching the Autoupdate tool, or it can be updated in unattended mode (silently) from the command-line.
For instructions on installing and registering a desktop client in unattended mode, please reference Silently install the Desktop Client .
