When you configured the download and installation of operating system updates from Microsoft server, PRISMAsync Print Server behaves as follows:
Once a day PRISMAsync Print Server searches for new operating system updates at midnight.
NOTE
If the system is offline or shut down at midnight, the check for updates will not take place at a later moment; the check will be attempted again the next day.
When the operating system updates are discovered by PRISMAsync Print Server, it is not possible to make a selection of the found updates. All found updates will be downloaded or installed depending on the configuration. During the download or installation the printer remains operational, only to finalise the installation the system may need a reboot.
Ensure that the PRISMAsync is able to access the internet using HTTP and HTTPS.
Ensure that the proxy server settings are configured (when applicable).
You need to have the access rights: [Access to installation tasks].
