About appliance software updates

About appliance software updates

The appliance checks with the servers at Quest daily for software updates. These updates are referred to as advertised updates.

If updates are available, an alert appears on the Home page of the Administrator Console the next time you log in with Administrator account privileges.

About labels

About labels

Labels are containers that enable you to organize and categorize items, such as devices, so that you can manage them as a group.

For example, you can use labels to identify devices that have the same operating system or that are in the same geographic location. You can then initiate actions, such as distributing software or deploying patches, on all of the devices with that label. Labels can either be manually assigned to specific items or automatically assigned to items when they are associated with criteria, such as SQL or LDAP queries.

You can add labels from the Labels section as well as from other sections of the Administrator Console where labels are used, such as the Devices page.

The following labels are available:

•
Labels: Labels that are applied manually and used to organize users, devices, software, Managed Installations, and more. See Managing manual labels.
•
Smart Labels: Labels that are applied and removed automatically based on criteria you specify. For example, to track laptops in a specific office, you could use a label called “San Francisco Office,” and add a Smart Label based on the IP address range or subnet for devices located in the San Francisco office. Whenever a device that falls within the IP address range is inventoried, the Smart Label “San Francisco” is automatically applied. When the device leaves the IP address range, and is inventoried again, the label is automatically removed. See Managing Smart Labels.
•
LDAP Labels: Labels that are applied to and removed from users and devices automatically based on LDAP or Active Directory® queries. See Managing LDAP Labels.
