(Example: we installed to the group called Conference Room).

Manage the System Client

Add the newly deployed System Client to the System Area Manager. System Clients must be Managed before additional functions are enabled such as: vulnerability scanning, patch deployment and power management.

Refresh the Group

Once the System Client is being Managed by the System Area Manager you must Refresh the List to get the latest configuration information

Vulnerability Scanning

To perform the Microsoft Vulnerability scan choose the group.

(Example: We have scanned the group called Conference Room. A detailed CSV report is written to disk. An on-screen summary of the identified missing updates is provided.)

Patch Deployment

(Example: These power schedule settings are being applied to all of the systems located in the Group called Conference Room. You received confirmation that the settings are applied successfully to each system within the Group.)

You can tie the Management Utilities into Windows Scheduler.

(Schedule Power On Tasks for specific Groups or Schedule Power Down Tasks for Specific Groups).
