On selected desktop and notebook models, an Altiris management agent is included as part of the
factory loaded image. This agent enables communication with the Altiris development Solution
which can be used to complete new hardware deployment or personality migration to a new OS
using easy-to-follow wizards. Altiris solutions provide easy-to-use software distribution
capabilities. When used in conjunction with System Software Manager (Section
3.3.4
), or the HP
Client Manager, administrators can also update ROM BIOS and device driver software from a
central console.
