EminentWare, a leading provider of configuration and patch management solutions, today announced patch management support for iTunes. With EminentWare, companies that use Microsoft’s System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) or Microsoft’s Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to manage patches, can now easily deploy and manage iTunes patches on servers and desktops enterprise-wide. EminentWare’s pre-built and tested iTunes patches are provided as a part of EminentWare’s 3rd Party Updates Pack which enables companies to automatically receive patches for popular 3rd party applications.
