Set the access permissions of the new repository folder to read-only access for end users. Administrator functions will require read and write access. 5.

Type the network share repository path of your server and share, for example: \\Server_X\TVSU_repository\ UNC The user name and password used by System Update and Update Retriever to access a network share should only be used by System Update and Update Retriever. If you map the repository location or log on to it using the same user name and password that is used by System Update or Update Retriever, the MapDrv utility used to connect to the network share will not be able to access the network share repository. If this occurs, System Update and Update Retriever will fail in the attempt to access the network share repository. For more information, see "Using the MapDrv utility" on page 82. Version control for System Update When a newer version of System Update is available, System Update connects to the Lenovo Help Center Web site, detects and downloads the newer version, and then installs that version. This process is done automatically, without user interaction, but can be disabled. For information about disabling the upgrade, see "\UCSettings\HTTPSHelloSettings" on page 18. 28 System Update Solution Deployment Guide
