Intelligent Manageability

The Intelligent Manageability application is included only with
notebooks that ship with the Windows 2000 Professional or
Windows XP Professional operating system. The application is
provided on the Compaq application recovery CD that ships with
those operating systems.

Understanding Intelligent Manageability

Intelligent Manageability comprises software tools that can help
you and/or your Network Administrator track, troubleshoot,
protect, and maintain the hardware and software in your network.

Intelligent Manageability uses such tools as Insight Management
Agents, Compaq Diagnostics, and Computer Setup to facilitate:

Asset Management, which provides detailed configuration
and diagnostic information.

Fault Management, which prevents, predicts, and alerts to
impending hardware problems.

Security Management, which protects against unauthorized
access to your work, system information, and components.

Configuration Management, which provides the latest
drivers, utilities, and other software. Web Agent, for example,
enables you and your Network Administrator to view
notebook configuration information using Web technology.
