Automated Deployment Of Hp Toptools Agents From The Hp Toptools Device Manager; Obtaining The Latest Agents - HP Vectra E-Vectra Deployment Manual

5.3 Automated Deployment of HP Toptools Agents from the HP Toptools Device
Manager
Many HP PCs, notebook computers, and workstations support the remote installation of agents. The
system requirements are the same as for manual agent installation.
The HP Toptools Device Manager can be used to remotely install agents under following conditions:
•
Only HP Vectra PCs, HP Kayak PCs, HP Visualize Workstations, and HP Omnibook mobile
computers are supported for this feature.
•
DMI column appearing in the Device Selector screen may have agents pushed to them.
•
These machines must be part of the same Windows Domain as the Toptools Device Manager
that the agents are being installed from.
•
All machines can be updated using the Manage Drivers / Firmware option.
•
The machines receiving the agents must have administrator passwords stored in the Toptools
database or have no administrator password set.
•
To register Administrator passwords with the Toptools Database use the "Set System
Passwords" action on the HP Toptools server.

5.3.1 Obtaining the latest agents

Select "Settings" then "Drivers/Firmware". If the driver database is not up to date, click on "Update Now"
