HP System Software Manager (SSM) is a free utility that automates
remote deployment of device drivers and BIOS updates for your
networked HP business PCs. When SSM runs, it silently (without
user interaction) determines the revision levels of drivers and BIOS
installed on each networked client system and compares this
inventory against system software SoftPaqs that have been tested and
stored in a central file store. SSM then automatically updates any
down-revision system software on the networked PCs to the later
levels available in the file store. Since SSM only allows distribution
of SoftPaq updates to the correct client system models, administrators
can confidently and efficiently use SSM to keep system software
updated.
System Software Manager integrates with enterprise software
distribution tools such as HP OpenView and Microsoft® Systems
Management Server (SMS). Using SSM, you can distribute
customer-created or third-party updates that have been packaged in
the SSM-format.
SSM may be downloaded at no charge by visiting
