Purpose

This document is intended to show how to set proxy information for the Shavlik Patch plugin.

If your internet connection goes through a proxy, this may be required for Shavlik Patch to be able to successfully publish updates.

Description

1) In SCCM, navigate to Software Library > Software Updates > Shavlik Patch.

2) Right click on Shavlik Patch, then choose 'Settings'.

3) Navigate to the 'Proxy' tab within the Shavlik Patch Settings.
