Schedule a patch deployment from a remediation task through a Change Request for approval, and optionally deploy the patches automatically after the change is approved.

## Before you begin

This option is available only when you schedule a patch from a remediation task (RT) record. It is supported for the HCL BigFix and Microsoft SCCM patch orchestration integrations.

When you create the Change Request, you can select **Automatic patch deployment** to automatically deploy the patches when the Change Request reaches the **Implement** state. If you leave this option cleared, only the
Change Request is created with the patch deployment details. Deploy the patches manually after the change is approved.

Role required: sn_vul_patch_orch.configure_patch

## Procedure

2. Select Create ChangeCreate change \& schedule patch.
3. Select the patches to deploy, and then select Next.
4. Select the asset groups or assets to deploy the patches to, and then select Next.
5. On the Schedule \& create change step, complete the Change Request fields.

7. **Optional:** Select Automatic patch deployment to deploy the patches automatically when the Change Request reaches the Implement state.
