HP recommends that the user name and password for the administrator account on each target server be the same as those on the local administrative system. If administrator privileges are not set up in this manner, you must have the user name and password available for each remote server available. Alternatively, you can use a domain account on the local administrative system that has administrator privileges on the target servers. The beginning and ending IP addresses entered for the range of targets must both be on the same subnet. NOTE: HP Smart Update Manager requires the user to be logged in using Administrator credentials. A user account elevated to "Run as administrator" in most cases does not have sufficient rights because access to protected system files and the Windows registry is restricted. This access is needed to deploy most firmware and driver updates. If the logged-in account is unable to perform the net use *\\server\ADMIN$ for Microsoft Windows targets, you do not have sufficient privileges to run HP SUM to remote targets. Deployment of some software updates on a local server may still be possible in some instances, but is not recommended. NOTE: When attempting to use the remote deployment functionality of HP SUM on any edition of Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista, you must ensure that the File and Print Services feature is enabled and that the File and Print Services exception has been enabled in the Windows firewall. Failure to do so prevents HP SUM from deploying remote Windows targets. Enable the network ports that HP SUM uses. For more information, see "Enabling ports" in the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide. Minimum requirements for Windows IMPORTANT: Before deploying any components to a system, be sure that a recent backup of the system is available in the event the deployment procedure fails. To successfully use HP SUM to deploy firmware and software to targets running a Windows operating system, the following must be available: • Hosts: Windows Vista or Windows 7 • Servers: Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows 2008 (32-bit or 64-bit), or Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) • A local administrative system with at least 1 GB of memory NOTE: The HP SPP or HP Integrity Smart Update firmware bundle that delivered HP SUM might require more memory than HP SUM. Check the release notes for those products for information on the memory requirements. • Sufficient hard-drive space of at least twice the file size of the components to be deployed • WMI enabled on all targets • All remote targets must be visible on the network by the administrative system running HP SUM • An account with administrator privileges on each target server Prerequisites 5
