Does LANDesk mirror ALL patches specified in vulnerability content?

Most if not all Microsoft patches are hosted on the LANDesk content servers. There are some Mac patches that are also hosted, usually large file downloads. The hosting of these patches provides a limited backup of the most accessed patches from these two main vendors. Some patch content cannot be legally hosted on the patch content servers and require they be downloaded directly from the vendor’s web site (e.g. Adobe, Java). These files, however, are still hashed in the LANDesk vulnerability to provide the same level of file authenticity as files hosted on the content server.
