Client Manager (LDCM) is a software program that uses the
Desktop Management Interface (DMI) standard to manage components
(network interface cards, memory, software applications) within a client
or remote PC system. It manages the resources of a local PC and can be
used by system administrators to manage groups of computer systems.
Install LANDesk Client Manager from the NEC Application and Driver
CD. For installation information, see “Launching the Application and
Driver CD” in Chapter 3.
Note
LANDesk Client Manager should be installed before any of the
applications or utilities that function in conjunction with it. Install the
Cheyenne Backup utility, the NEC Configuration Change Notification, NEC
Auto Backup utility, and the NEC WebTelligent software after installing
LANDesk Client Manager.
Do not install both the LANDesk Client Manager
and the NEC SNMP Agent on the same computer.
Do not install both the LANDesk Client Manager and the NEC SNMP
Agent on the same computer. The two applications are incompatible, and
neither can be removed using the uninstall utility. To remove them, a full
restore must be performed after which all applications must be reinstalled.
