In addition to scheduled synchronizations, synchronization of the local Asset Intelligence catalog with System Center Online can be manually requested. Manually synchronizing catalog information allows administrators to retrieve the latest software title categorization information as well as new CPU property and hardware requirements information from System Center Online. When requesting catalog synchronization with System Center Online, information is not uploaded to System Center Online.
