Attention: If you find duplicate update packages in the network share repository, these packages have different package contents. Select all packages with corresponding names for a given machine type when you are managing the contents of the network share repository. Note: If you install Update Retriever on a notebook computer running Microsoft Vista in one country and download packages when in another country, the license files with that package may not display correctly. To avoid this problem, do not download packages in any country except the one that you installed Update Retriever in. Using Update Retriever The following sections provide information on using Update Retriever to search for update packages, view download history, and restore hidden updates. Search for updates with Update Retriever With Update Retriever, you can manually initiate the search for update packages, or schedule an automatic search for new update packages on a specified time interval. If you are performing an automatic search for critical updates, you can configure the application to provide notification when new updates are found (so you can manually initiate the download) or to automatically download the new updates and provide notification when the downloading is complete. If you are performing an automatic search for recommended updates, you can configure the application to provide notification when new updates are found so you can manually initiate the download. Manual check for new updates You can manually initiate a search for new updates using a wizard-like interface. Update packages are specific to the triplet value of each client system. A triplet is the combination of the machine type (MT), operating system, and operating system language. For systems with various triplets, updates are assigned to matching machine types, operating systems, and language values. The triplet value for an update is saved in the repository when the update is downloaded from the Lenovo Help Center Web site by Update Retriever. An example of a triplet value is: Windows XP, 2373, US English. Once a triplet value is specified, Update Retriever searches the Lenovo Help Center Web site and displays a list of packages targeted to the specified triplet value. After you search for updates, there will be a brief time interval before you can select the applicable updates to download. Once you select the updates to download, you can review your selections. After confirming your selections, the updates are downloaded to a specified repository. Modify settings You can set the default status for updates and customize the location of the repository folder. v Update's default status The status of updates will be set to the specified value when updates are retrieved from the Lenovo Help Center or imported to a local repository. v Repositories 46 EasyUpdate Solution Deployment Guide
