++= Using the "Reset Windows Update Cache" system job =
++
++You can use the “Reset Windows Update Cache” system job, which runs on the agent, via a job collection or a job push using the query. This job resets the Windows Update agent on the client. This stops the Windows Update services (Wuauserv, Bits, and Cryptsvc), clears the Software Distribution folder in the Windows directory, and then restarts the service. If you encounter problems with the Windows Update agent during runtime, you can use the system job to manually reset the agent.

++= Sync Profiles and distributed File Repositories =
++
++Sync profiles allow you to specify within Windows Update Management which updates should be synchronized to which file repositories. Access the sync profiles from the //[[Updates>>doc:ACMP.610.ACMP-Solutions.Patch Management.Windows Update Management.Updates.WebHome||anchor="HWorkingwithupdates"]] //([[image:1779346293908-172.png||height="19" width="19"]]) tab. A new window will open, where you will find a default profile (“All Windows Updates”: This filter includes all updates you have already subscribed to). This sync profile contains Windows Updates and includes filters for all products (both current and future) that are automatically synchronized. This means that future updates for a specific product will also be included. This option allows you to automatically include all selected products without making manual changes.
++
++== Add a sync profile ==
++
++To add a new sync profile, click the button with the same name in the toolbar. A multi-page wizard will open. On the first page, insert a name for the sync profile under General, then click //Next >//.
++
++You can now use the filter to link items to the sync profile. Now select the products, classifications, and languages to be included in the profile. For each, you can choose between the two options: “All Updates” or “Only Updates for Selected Products, Classifications, and/or Languages.” With the first option, all items are synchronized; with the second option, you must make the selection manually.
++
++[[Set filters for the content in the sync profile>>image:610_Sync Profil hinzufügen Filter_966.png]]
++
++After making your selection, click //Next >// to continue.
++
++If you want to create a static shortcut between the elements, you can configure this on this page. On the last page, you can now select the file repository to be used for the sync profile.
++
++Exit your work and click //Done//. The newly created sync profile will now appear in the list. In the Sync Profile menu, you can now view the available profiles and see, for example, which filter has been set, which items have been linked, and what file repository has been specified.
++
++If you wish to make changes to a profile at a later date, you can do so via [[image:Sync-Profil bearbeiten Icon.png||height="21" width="19"]]// Edit//. You can permanently delete the profile using the [[image:Sync-Profil löschen Icon.png||height="22" width="20"]] //Delete //button.
