Scans can be automatically performed in a single step against all machines in the local domain as long as the default credentials supplied are appropriate for all domain machines. There are many ways to perform a domain scan:
You can click the Scan My Domain button on the home page to immediately launch the scan using the default scan template.
You can select Scan > My Domain from the program menu.
You can select the My Domain machine group in the Machine Groups pane and then click the Begin Scan icon.
The Operations Monitor is used to monitor the status of a patch scan. See Monitoring a Patch Scan for details.
