Hello,
Can I install patches on Client computers through Nagios core. If yes then how?
Regards

Re: Patches installation
You could do that generally via event handlers, but you'd have to write the logic yourself.
Frankly, this is better handled by a proper inventory or configuration management platform. Chef, Puppet, Salt, Ansible, etc.
Alternatively, a repository manager like Artifactory which could piggy-back off your systems' package management software.

Re: Patches installation
I agree with @mcapra. For deploying patches and updates to servers something like Ansible would be a better fit. Nagios has event handlers but those are usually used to turn something on/off based on a check result.
@alidar, Let us know if you have any other questions?

Re: Patches installation
It is possible, but you would need to write a powershell script the performed the update, and then had the nagios event handler start the script.
This gets quite tricky because Windows updates can take hours to complete and you do not want to start the upgrade every few minutes
