Module Summary
Key Points
ePO simplifies the process of deploying products to the managed systems in your network by providing a user interface to configure and schedule deployments.
From the Software Catalog, you can download, check in, update, and remove managed product components from your server.
There are two processes you can follow to deploy products using ePO: product deployment projects and client tasks.
Client tasks automate system management activities, such as product deployment, upgrades, and updates.
Client tasks can be assigned at any level in the System Tree and are inherited by groups and systems lower in the tree. As with policies and policy assignments, you can break the inheritance for an assigned client task.
You can export and import client tasks for use with other ePO servers.
The Client Task Catalog is used to add and manage client tasks.
The Client Task Comparison tool is used to compare client tasks that are similar, allowing you to determine which settings are different and which are the same.
In the next lesson, you will learn how to manage policies in ePO.
