3.1.3 Collections All collections are retained during the upgrade from HPCM 6.0 or 6.1 to HPCM 6.1 SP1. However, during an upgrade from HPCM 6.1 to HPCM 6.1 SP1, any collection that uses NT 4.0 or Windows 98 is not valid in 6.1 SP1 because NT 4.0 and Windows 98 are not supported. HPCM installations that upgrade to HPCM 6.1 SP1 may retain the collection, “Windows 2000 Servers”. This collection should not be used in HPCM 6.1 SP1 for client systems because it is not a client OS.

The following tasks are provided with the Embedded Security feature: 4.1.1 Initialization of Embedded Security HP Client Manager lets an administrator initialize Embedded Security for the client computer, which can further be managed with the help of the HP Client Manager Agent. This feature initializes the Embedded Security by enabling and taking ownership of the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chipset.

6.14 Reject Initialization On certain notebooks (for example, nc6220), the Embedded Security option to allow users to reject initialization does not work.

6.22 Duplicate SoftPaqs Before downloading a SoftPaq through a System Health Scan, confirm that you do not already have the SoftPaq in your Filestore. Duplicate SoftPaqs can cause a SQL error when updating the Filestore. 6.23 Mouse Response Microsoft recently changed the operation of their ActiveX controls which may result in some HPCM pages requiring two mouse clicks before a pointer changes. This will be addressed by a future update of Notification Server. 6.
