Manage - Systems Management tab

NAVIGATION  System > Orgs/Groups/Depts/Staff > Manage > Systems Management tab

The Systems Management tab provides a setup wizard. The Systems Management Configuration setup wizard enables you to quickly configure and apply machine management policies for a specific organization. Once configured, these polices are assigned to each machine you manage on behalf of that organization. Policies govern many different aspects of machine management:

• Audit scheduling
• Monitoring
• Alerts
• Patch Management
• Routine machine maintenance using agent procedures

With policies you no longer have to manage each machine individually. You only have to assign or change the policy. A policy assignment or a change within an assigned policy is propagated within 30 minutes to all member machines without you having to schedule anything. Once applied, you can quickly determine whether managed machines are in compliance or out of compliance with their assigned policies. Compliance tracking by individual policy provides you with the information you need to deliver IT services consistently throughout the organizations you manage.

NOTE   See the Standard Solution Package for a detailed explanation of each option in the setup wizard.
