updates in a timely and automated manner—can help maintain security and productivity for the managed
organization. HP now offers a mechanism to streamline updates for HP systems within a Microsoft
System Management Server management infrastructure. The HP Client Catalog for SMS contains
software driver and patch information for desktop, mobile and workstation platforms. With SMS 2003
