Desktop Management Guide Software Updating and Management HP provides several tools for managing and updating software on desktops, workstations, and notebooks: ■ HP System Software Manager ■ HP Client Manager Software ■ HP Client Management Solutions using Altiris ■ HP OpenView Management Suite for Desktops using Radia ■ HP Local Recovery ■ Dantz Backup and Recovery ■ HP Proactive Change Notification ■ HP Subscriber's Choice HP System Software Manager HP System Software Manager (SSM) is a free utility that automates remote deployment of device drivers and BIOS updates for your networked HP business PCs. When SSM runs, it silently (without user interaction) determines the revision levels of drivers and BIOS installed on each networked client system and compares this inventory against system software SoftPaqs that have been tested and stored in a central file store. SSM then automatically updates any down-revision system software on the networked PCs to the later levels available in the file store. Since SSM only allows distribution of SoftPaq updates to the correct client system models, administrators can confidently and efficiently use SSM to keep system software updated. System Software Manager integrates with enterprise software distribution tools such as HP OpenView Management Suite using Radia and Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS). Using SSM, you can distribute customer-created or third-party updates that have been packaged in the SSM-format. SSM may be downloaded at no charge by visiting www.hp.com/go/ssm. 4 www.hp.com Desktop Management Guide
