CAUTION: The setup wizard automatically generates new packages and collections and overwrites

properties for any existing package or collection with the same name. Be sure to back up or rename any

customized package or collections before beginning the installation.

NOTE: The package, collection, and advertisement names that are created will be prefixed with the name

specified in the Distributions Settings screen of the setup wizard. This document uses "HP Updates" as the

distribution setting name.

Each program is installed with default settings. See "Advanced topics (on page

)" for information on

changing the default settings.

HP Updates program

The HP Updates program is distributed for advertising the scan tool. HP Updates executes the scan tool

and returns the result of the scan to the SMS site server at the next hardware inventory cycle.
You can enable the advertisement for HP Updates to the HP Updates collection (on page

) when

installing the inventory tool.

HP Updates (expedited) program

Similar to HP Updates, the HP Updates (expedited) program is distributed to advertise the scan tool. HP

Updates (expedited) executes the scan tool and returns the result to the SMS site server by issuing an

immediate hardware inventory collection.
You must manually advertise HP Updates (expedited). The advertisement cannot be enabled when

installing the inventory tool.

HP Updates Sync program

The HP Updates Sync program is used to advertise the sync tool. You can enable the advertisement for HP

Updates Sync to the HP Updates Sync collection ("

inventory tool.
HP Updates Sync downloads the latest HP manifest catalog file from HP. The HP manifest catalog contains

a list of the latest software, firmware, and HP ProLiant and Integrity Support Packs. The sync tool

processes and updates this information in the SMS database.

HP Insight Inventory Collector

The HP Insight Inventory Collector program is distributed to advertise the Collect utility to managed client

servers. You must manually advertise the Collect utility. The advertisement cannot be enabled when

installing the inventory tool.
