Software Management and Updates
HP provides several tools for managing and updating software on

Altiris Local Recovery; Altiris PC Transplant Pro; and System
Software Manager.
HP Client Manager Software

provides superior hardware management capabilities for HP
devices that include:

Detailed views of hardware inventory for asset management.
■
PC health check
monitoring and diagnostics.
■
Web-accessible reporting of business-critical details such as
machines with thermal warnings, and memory alerts.

Remote updating of system software such as device drivers
and ROM BIOS.

Additional functionality can be added when HP CMS is used
with optional Altiris Solutions software (purchased separately).
