b Tom can select Download automatically when updates are available .
This will cause automatic download of new packages to a cache
maintained by IT Assistant.
NOTE: After the synchronization, Tom can identify the packages and bundles
that were downloaded and those that were not downloaded, by their different
icons under the Online Repository.
NOTE: IT Assistant ensures the integrity of all downloaded packages by
verifying the digital signature and discards all packages that fail digital
signature verification.
Tom can also select Auto-import . This option causes the updates to be
automatically imported to the IT Assistant Repository during
synchronization. However, Tom may choose to ignore this option if he
does not want to get content into the IT Assistant Repository without
his intervention/knowledge.
c Tom wants to see which systems on his network are compliant with
the latest update packages, or he may want to know if there is a major
update that affects most of his systems, such as a BIOS upgrade.
Therefore, he also selects
Include compliance report for every
downloaded component in the E-mail
.
NOTE: If Tom does not select this option, the e-mail will not contain the
compliance report of the update packages. However, he can still view the
compliance report in the Compliance tab. For more information, see "Viewing
Compliance Report for Downloaded Update Packages/Bundles" on page 155.
NOTE: Compliance reporting is a resource-intensive task that consumes
network bandwidth and increases CPU and memory usage. Hence, online
synchronization must be scheduled during off-peak hours.
