HP Client Manager
Desktop Management Guide
HP Client Manager, developed with Altiris, is available free for all
supported HP business desktop, notebook, and workstation models.
SSM is integrated into HP Client Manager, and enables central
tracking, monitoring, and management of the hardware aspects of HP
client systems.
Use HP Client Manager to:
■
Get valuable hardware information such as CPU, memory, video,
and security settings
■
Monitor system health to fix problems before they occur
■
Automatically collect and remotely distribute SoftPaqs that will
update the hardware's BIOS, drivers, and security settings
■
Remotely configure BIOS and security settings
■
Automate processes to quickly resolve hardware problems
HP Client Manager uses the same Altiris infrastructure as the other
Altiris client lifecycle management solutions. This design provides a
significant benefit for the IT staff, since only one infrastructure needs
to be setup and maintained. Since information is stored in one
database, you get complete and consistent inventory reports as well as
system health and security information. You use a single, consistent
console interface for scheduling and tracking progress of both
hardware and software management tasks for your client systems.
