Greetings all

I need to use some patches now, but I have never done that before.
I read in Google that I need install patches on my iMac.

How to install patches for Mac systems | macOS and OS X patch installation

Endpoint Central offers several configurations for managing Mac computers. Patch configuration helps in centralized installation and uninstallation of patches.

To do that I need to "click on patch management" and so here I am asking where do I find patch management on my iMac, because I failed to find it on my own.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
 
I cannot be specific about what patch and for what purpose. But I can tell you that we are not talking about general software updates.
Can't you just tell how do I install a patcher on iMac in principle?

Hard to help you if you can't be more specific than that.

By running Software Update.

My guess is you don't have ManageEngine Endpoint Central?
 
Right, if you can't tell us what it is you are trying to achieve, we will be hard pressed to help you.
You posted this in an iOS-forum, asking for help with "patches" on mac, not wanting to divulge what kind of patches.

I manage a couple of thousand macOS and iOS devices at work using Jamf Pro. Depending on what it is you want to patch, the tools, and the process can differ greatly.

Also, ManageEngine is not one of the preferred tools for managing macs in the Mac Admin community. Most are using Jamf Pro, Munki or even MECM.

I’m not even sure about “what was the problem”.

Same, but I thought I’d ask. There may be someone else out there who’s forced to use ManageEngine over one of the more mainstream management tools.

Understood, but I am pretty sure me disclosing the nature of the issue I had won't help your case...
