Software Updating and Management Compaq provides several tools for managing and updating software on desktop computers-Altiris eXpress, Altiris PC Transplant Pro, PC Transplant for Compaq, Insight Manager LC, System Software Manager, and Remote Management Setup Utilities. Using Insight Manager LC, you can also monitor a workgroup of PCs from a central console and remotely update the system software, security settings, flash ROM, or hardware device drivers, for each of the managed PCs individually. System Software Manager (SSM) is a utility that lets you update system-level software on multiple systems simultaneously. When executed on a PC client system, SSM detects both hardware and software versions, then updates the appropriate software from a central repository, also known as a file store. Support software that works with SSM is flagged with the PC Lifecycle Management icon on the Compaq Web site. To download the utility or to obtain more information on SSM, visit the Compaq Web site at http://www.compaq.com/im. In addition to its PC configuration capabilities mentioned in a previous section, Altiris eXpress also includes easy to use software distribution capabilities. You can use Altiris eXpress to update operating systems and application software from a central console. When used in conjunction with SSM, Altiris eXpress can also update ROM BIOS and device driver software. Finally, the Compaq Remote Management Setup Utilities, when integrated with Management Solutions Partners products, deliver an ongoing management solution. These utilities supplement the capabilities of Solutions Partners products for distributing new applications, device drivers, and other system software. The Compaq Web site include updated ROM images and device drivers which can be distributed to client PCs using these software tools. For more information, refer to the online Remote Management Administrators Guide. The Remote Management Administrators Guide is included with the Remote Management Setup Utilities, which are available on the Compaq Web site at www.compaq.com/support/files/index.html. The following sections provide information on using these utilities to accomplish various remote management functions including ROM flash, changing security settings, and wakeup/shutdown.
