To successfully use HP SUM to deploy firmware and software to targets running a Windows® operating system, the following must be available:
HP recommends that the user name and password for the administrator account on each target server are the same as those on the local administrative system. If administrator privileges are not set up in this manner, you must have the user name and password for each remote server available. Alternatively, you can use a domain account on the local administrative system that has administrator privileges on the target servers.
NOTE: HP Smart Update Manager requires a true Administrator login and not an elevated RUN AS Administrator. If you are unable to perform the net use * \\server\ADMIN$ for Microsoft Windows® targets, you do not have sufficient privileges to run HP Smart Update Manager. |
NOTE: When attempting to use the remote deployment functionality of HP SUM on any edition of Windows Server® 2008 or Windows Vista®, you must ensure that the File and Print Services feature is enabled and that the File and Print Services exception has been enabled in the Windows® firewall. Failure to do so prevents HP SUM from deploying remote Windows® targets. |
