HP Catalog with System Center Updates
Publishing Tool settings
Using the System Center Updates Publishing Tool
(SCUP), the HP catalog can be imported into the SCCM server. The
SCCM server can deploy software from the imported catalog to client
servers. SCUP works with the Windows® Software Update Service
(WSUS) and SCCM. It is a separate installation by the
administrator.
HP has been working with Microsoft® to develop
its Updates Catalog, and has registered the catalog to the
Microsoft® External Catalogs list. HP Server Update catalog is
available at
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software10/COL25555/sy-65640-1/ProLiant.cab.
Manual download of the catalog is not necessary if the SCUP server
is connected to the Internet.
