Abstract
A system includes a systems manager configured to retrieve an update package that includes an update installer for updating the information handling system, and to install the update package with the update installer. The update installer retrieves an operating system build number from the information handling system, and parses a metadata file included in the update package to determine a device group based on the operating system build number, wherein the device group includes the applicable updates for the information handling system. The update installer determines a mode of installation based on the operating system build number of the device group, determines a sequence of installation of the applicable updates, and installs the applicable updates according to the sequence of installation and the mode of installation.
