For example: \\Server_X\TSEU_repository\ 4. 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.

UNC: The user name and password used by EasyUpdate and Update Retriever to access a network shared should only be used by EasyUpdate 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 EasyUpdate or Update Retriever, the MapDrv utility used to connect to the network share will not be able to access the network share repository. Should this occur, EasyUpdate and Update Retriever will fail in the attempt to access the network share repository. For more information, see "Using the MapDrv utility" on page 73. Version control for EasyUpdate When new releases of EasyUpdate are available, EasyUpdate connects to the Lenovo Help Center Web site, detects and downloads the new version, and then installs that version. This process is done automatically, without user interaction, but can be disabled. For information on disabling the upgrade, see "UC Settings\HTTPSHelloSettings configurable items" on page 16. If you want to control the version of EasyUpdate available to your users, you can use your network repository to store specific versions of EasyUpdate. Storing packages locally will enable the EasyUpdate application to search for upgrades within your network repository. This version control function is compatible with EasyUpdate 1.0 and future releases. To configure the registry for EasyUpdate version control, complete the following steps: 1. Download the SSClientCommon.zip file from the following Lenovo Support Web site: http://www.lenovo.com/support/easyupdate 2. Create a folder to be used as a repository that will store update packages. For example: 26 EasyUpdate Solution Deployment Guide
