Ninja RMM: Software Management – Third Party Updates

  • July 22, 2025
  • ProVal Technologies, Inc
  • Tech Tuesday

This isn’t just about pushing updates, it’s about driving operational excellence and reducing risk through smart automation. Whether you’re scaling your MSP or fine-tuning your internal standards, this is the foundation of a mature patching strategy.

Step by Step:
  1. Log in as an administrator and confirm you have access to Agent Policies. Also make sure the NinjaOne WinGet third-party app is installed and enabled. If it’s not there, add it from the Apps area in the upper right.
  2. Once WinGet is enabled, you can use package management directly inside NinjaOne policies.
  3. Navigate to Agent Policies and open your standard Windows workstation policy.
  4. Scroll down inside the policy to the Software section.
  5. Review the general software settings, including enabling or disabling the software feature, reboot behavior when users are logged in or not, scan frequency for updates, update schedules, and any overrides or rejected patches.
  6. Review the software packages already listed in the policy and note the available sources, such as NinjaOne and WinGet, along with how patches are approved and whether software installs if it isn’t already present.
  7. Click the Add Software button on the right side of the Software section.
  8. Search for the application you want to deploy, such as Mozilla Firefox.
  9. Select the NinjaOne source when available, then add the package to the policy.
  10. Use the ellipsis menu next to the software and select Edit to change its behavior.
  11. Configure the package to automatically approve critical patches, automatically approve recommended patches, and install the software if it is not already present.
  12. Click Save in the upper right corner to apply the policy and make it live.
  13. Repeat this process for any additional software packages available through the NinjaOne or WinGet sources, which include thousands of supported applications.
  14. Once complete, the software deployment and patching settings will be enforced across the endpoints covered by the policy.

I truly view ProVal as a partner and extension of my team, not as one of my vendors

When our NOC Manager left last fall we wanted to replace the position with an outsourced NOC to reduce headcount, and bring in an expert to both Labtech and our backup solutions. Bringing in ProVal Technologies was one of the best decisions we made last year and has paid for itself.During our first few monthly recurring Labtech admin meetings the ProVal team discovered incorrect settings and policies that were not applying correctly in our Labtech server. Things that we thought were automated and working were not. For example, there were multiple scripts and policies running but set to do nothing such as disk cleanup scripts. Cisco Umbrella was not configured correctly. Server alerting was not set right and the list went on.The backup team sends daily and weekly reports and updates that reduce my technicians time that we used to spend on backup or antivirus tickets that took forever and were tedious.ProVal also brings in great insights to our business and really cares about our success. They will frequently mention to me in meetings what new scripts they can import to make us more efficient or will schedule upgrades to our backups, Labtech, etc so I don’t have to worry. I truly view ProVal as a partner and extension of my team not as one of my vendors.

They will quickly become an extension of your team and your ROI will reflect the results

We have been a long time user of Labtech and had tried for many years to manage the product internally with no real success at the level we needed to make our solutions more efficient for our customers. Once we hired Vikram and his team at ProVal, it solved all our pain points with the product and we really felt like we were leveraging the tool as it was designed. If this sounds like you and it’s keeping you up at night, then you need these guys. They will quickly become an extension of your team and your ROI will reflect the results.

They work well, fast and on budget

We met Vikram from ProVal Tech at Gary Pica’s Shnizzfest a year ago. Vikram explained the advantage of having trained, certified personnel take care of our recent Automate implementation. Even though we had taken an implementation package from ConnectWise to start up the program, we felt many custom configurations we needed for our business were lacking. We hired ProVal Tech after Automate was installed to help us with this task. From sales to technicians everyone was professional and knowledgeable. Onboarding was simple, and well documented. Tools on the web were supplied while we did the work, and they allowed us to track what was done, and see the improvements in the environment. It was easy to reach any of the team members, for any concern or question – all answered with courtesy and smile. Once the work was finished, we were given some training and explanations, add to that documentation, about the work and the scripts and features added to the program. We have been happily working with Automate since then. We can only recommend this efficient team of people for any work into Automate: they work well, fast and on budget.
