Intel Landesk Client Manager - Acer Power User Manual

4.8 Intel LANDesk
As computer systems are becoming more complex, the system manageability is becoming
one of the important requirements for desktop, server, and notebook computers, especially
in networked environments. The Desktop Management Interface (DMI) standard, created
by the Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF), provides an industry standard based
solution, enabling any DMI-compliant management software to manage any DMI-enabled
computer systems.
AcerPower desktop computers have been made DMI 2.0 compliant, by providing DMI
2.0 Service Provider, and DMI-compliant component instrumentation. The manageable
system information within the AcerPower system can be accessed through any DMI-
compliant management software.
Your AcerPower desktop computer has also been bundled with Intel LANDesk Client
Manager, which is a DMI-compliant management software.
The LANDesk Client Manager, Client Version, can be used by the AcerPower users, to do
the following tasks:
•
Review system inventory.
•
View DMI-compliant component information.
•
Receive notifications of system events.
•
Troubleshoot some of the computer problems.
The LANDesk Client Manager, Administrator Version, can be used by a system
administrator to manage client workstations remotely. Besides to remotely perform those
system management tasks listed above, the system administrator can also:
•
Back up and restore the system configuration files.
•
Make remote troubleshooting easier.
•
Transfer files to and from client workstations.
•
Remotely reboot client workstations.
•
Remotely power up client systems.
