Application Description
Managing ConfigMgr/ SMS clients in large distributed environments is challenging. At any given time 5 – 10% of clients may be broken. This makes it hard for administrators to get 100% success for patch updates and software distributions, compromises computer
health and impacts the end-user productivity.
Adaptiva Client HealthTM performs scheduled or instant health checks, on either a single PC or a collection, to help you maximize the success of your computer management services. Proactively identify issues, automatically remedy them and view detailed reports.
In the Enterprise version, extend health checks and remediation mechanisms without writing a single line of script to ensure a continuously available and updated desktop environment.
Maximize delivery of computer management services
• 100% accountability for distribution and updates
• Real-time visibility – instant check and remediation mechanism
Lower desktop management TCO
• Reduced cost of managing applications, operating systems and PCs
• Ensure PC health – reduce downtime and troubleshooting overhead
Increase productivity
• Provide end-users a secure and available PC environment
• Centralized visibility and control for administrators
Independent Monitoring Framework
Deep server side ConfigMgr/SMS integration. Since we are detecting defective client side infrastructure we do not use ConfigMgr/SMS client side infrastructure for checks.
Tests End-to-End Functionality
Test end-to-end functionality rather than construe the lack of known errors to imply health. E.g. A hardware inventory ping proves that hardware inventory is sent from the client and received at the server. Identify new incidents that cause failure and enhance
your problem management capabilities.
Extensible and Exportable
Extend the client health framework as per your needs. Custom scripts are treated as in-built ones. They run instantly or on schedule, and are integrated with web reports. One can monitor functionality on the PC beyond just ConfigMgr/SMS client health. Scripts
can be replicated across hierarchies and exported into text files for sharing.
Health Checks
40 scheduled or instant checks that can be run on a PC or a collection
• ConfigMgr/SMS agent checks – agent installation, version, service status, site assignment and management point location. Run heartbeat discovery.
• Operating System
o WMI checks – service status, path, stability patches, repository integrity, policy namespaces
o BITS version
o Others – WSUS status, remote registry service status, Admin$ share, Vista stability index, devise manager errors
• System Performance – Disk space, CPU and memory utilization
• Security – Firewall, anti-virus and Vista UAC enabled Handling Check Failure
• Auto remediation available
• Administrators can force remediation
• Clients that fail a particular check are grouped in a collection, and are removed on successful remediation
Integrated Wake-on-LAN
Can be integrated with Adaptiva CompanionTM to wake target clients or collections for instant health checks.
Policy Based Scheduled Checks
Adaptiva Client Health Policy can be used to distribute different settings to different target client collections.
Detailed Web Reporting
Granular visibility of client health status:
• Results correlated and stored on central server
• Time based purging of results
• 40 Built-in web reports available
o Per PC and per collection
