Collecting Inventory - Systemwalker Desktop Patrol
When the network is connected, Inventory information which cannot be sent to the connection server due to the following reasons in the previous Inventory collection is sent for the first time, thus, it can be used for assets management more reliably in the mobile PC which has not been connected the network for a short time.
When it cannot be sent because the network is not connected, though Inventory collection has been performed
When it cannot be sent because the network is cut off during sending Inventory information
In general, CT operation status log will be sent to the connection server along with Inventory information.
Because the network traffic has been cut down, whether to send CT operation status log to the connection server can be selected.
In general, after selecting Start > All Programs > Systemwalker Desktop Patrol CT > Patch Installation, or Apps > Systemwalker Desktop Patrol CT > Patch Installation, to detect security patch which has not been installed in PC, the registry and files in the whole drive will be searched.
Because file search will cause increasing battery consumption in case of the mobile PC performing patch installation, select the resolution for search during patch installation from the following methods.
Perform patch Installation after searching all the drives (common search method)
Perform file search for all drives of Systemwalker Desktop Patrol CT. The user can detect the software installed in any folder, but the battery consumption will increase due to file search for all drive.
Perform patch installation after searching the system folders.
Perform file search for the following folders only. Though file search time can be shortened, security patches cannot be detected when installing software to non search object folder.
System folders Example) c:\windows
Program folders Example) c:\Program Files
Perform security patch installation according to the "Unapplied Patch Information" detected in Systemwalker Desktop Patrol CS.
Apply security patches according to the "Unapplied Patch Information" detected in Systemwalker Desktop Patrol CS.
Because security patches can be installed immediately in case it won't cause any load on Systemwalker Desktop Patrol CT if file search has not been performed, but situation where security patches of the new installed software cannot be applied according to the timing for Inventory collection exists.
The window for confirmation is displayed before automatically downloading software, you can select to perform or cancel automatic downloading.
