Desktop Management Guide

HP Intelligent Manageability provides standards-based solutions for

managing and controlling desktops, workstations, and notebook

PCs in a networked environment. HP pioneered desktop

manageability in 1995 with the introduction of the industry’s first

fully manageable desktop personal computers. HP holds a patent on

the manageability technology. Since then, HP has led an

industry-wide effort to develop the standards and infrastructure

required to effectively deploy, configure, and manage desktops,

workstations, and notebook PCs. HP works closely with leading

management software solution providers in the industry to ensure

compatibility between Intelligent Manageability and these products.

Intelligent Manageability is an important aspect of our broad

commitment to providing you with PC Lifecycle Solutions that assist

you during the four phases of the desktop PC lifecycle—planning,

deployment, management, and transitions.

The key capabilities and features of desktop management are:

■Initial configuration and deployment

■Remote system installation

■Software updating and management

■ROM flash

■Asset tracking and security

■Fault notification and recovery

✎Support for specific features described in this guide may vary by

model or software version.

Desktop Management Guide

Initial Configuration and Deployment

The computer comes with a preinstalled system software image. After

a brief software “unbundling” process, the computer is ready to use.

You may prefer to replace the preinstalled software image with a

customized set of system and application software. There are several

methods for deploying a customized software image. They include:

■Installing additional software applications after unbundling the

preinstalled software image.

■Using software deployment tools, such as Altiris Deployment

Solution™, to replace the preinstalled software with a customized

software image.

■Using a disk cloning process to copy the contents from one hard

drive to another.

The best deployment method depends on your information

technology environment and processes. The PC Deployment section

of the HP Lifecycle Solutions Web site

(http://h18000.www1.hp.com/solutions/pcsolutions) provides

information to help you select the best deployment method.

The Restore Plus! CD, ROM-based setup, and ACPI hardware

provide further assistance with recovery of system software,

configuration management and troubleshooting, and power

management.

Remote System Installation

Remote System Installation allows you to start and set up the system

using the software and configuration information located on a

network server by initiating the Preboot Execution Environment

(PXE). The Remote System Installation feature is usually used as a

system setup and configuration tool, and can be used for the

following tasks:

■Formatting a hard drive

■Deploying a software image on one or more new PCs

■Remotely updating the system BIOS in flash ROM (“Remote

ROM Flash” on page 7)

■Configuring the system BIOS settings

To initiate Remote System Installation, press F12 when the

F12 = Network Service Boot message appears in the lower-right

corner of the HP logo screen. Follow the instructions on the screen

to continue the process. The default boot order is a BIOS

configuration setting that can be changed to always attempt to PXE

boot.

HP and Altiris, Inc. have partnered to provide tools designed to make

the task of corporate PC deployment and management easier and less

time-consuming, ultimately lowering the total cost of ownership and

making HP PCs the most manageable client PCs in the enterprise

environment.

System Software Manager

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. Driver versions that

are supported by SSM are denoted with a special icon on the driver

download Web site and on the Support Software CD. To download

the utility or to obtain more information on SSM, visit

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/im/ssmwp.html.

Proactive Change Notification

The Proactive Change Notification program uses the Subscriber's

Choice Web site in order to proactively and automatically:

■Send you Proactive Change Notification (PCN) e-mails

informing you of hardware and software changes to most

commercial computers and servers, up to 60 days in advance.

■Send you e-mail containing Customer Bulletins, Customer

Advisories, Customer Notes, Security Bulletins, and Driver alerts

for most commercial computers and servers.

You create your own profile to ensure that you only receive the

information relevant to a specific IT environment. To learn more

about the Proactive Change Notification program and create a custom

profile, visit http://www.hp.com/go/pcn.

ActiveUpdate

ActiveUpdate is a client-based application from HP. The

ActiveUpdate client runs on the local system and uses the

user-defined profile to proactively and automatically download

software updates for most HP commercial computers and servers.

These downloaded software updates can be intelligently deployed to

the machines for which they are intended by HP Client Manager

Software and System Software Manager.

To learn more about ActiveUpdate, download the application,

and create a custom profile, visit

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/active
