Integrating Server Update Utility
With Dell OpenManage IT Assistant
Dell™ OpenManage™ IT Assistant allows you to load individual Dell Update
Packages or complete system bundles into the central repository. IT Assistant
then compares the packages to the versions of the software currently running on
your enterprise systems. You can then decide whether to update systems that
are not in compliance, either immediately or according to a schedule you
define. You can use Server Update Utility (SUU) with IT Assistant to update
multiple systems in a single session.
You can also customize the view of the package information by operating
system, device name, component name, and software type.

1
