Update Hosts Progress Dialog Box Does Not Continuously Refresh (6383815)

If you click the Update Entire Host Network button during an upgrade of remote agents or local distributors where the database has thousands of hosts, the Update Host Progress dialog box might not continuously refresh. The dialog box provides the current status for approximately 20 minutes. Although the dialog box stops refreshing, the upgrade continues.

Workaround: Go to the Hosts List page and click the View Current Host Updates link.
