Patch Manager

Resolution

Your Patch Manager server requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5. However, .NET 4.6.1 will replace the .NET 4.0 installation.

When you install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 on a server running Patch Manager, the new version should not introduce any complications or issues.

Before you upgrade .NET Framework on a Patch Manager server, back up your Patch Manager environment. Older versions will break the Patch Manager installation.
