3. Set the access permissions of the new repository folder to read only access for
end users. Administrator functions will require read and write access.
4. On client systems, navigate to the following registry entry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\System Update\Preferences\
UserSettings\General\RepositoryLocation1
The default for this registry entry is SUPPORTCENTER. This default setting
enables System Update to search for update packages on the Lenovo Help
Center Web site. When you change this setting to a network share repository
that you have created on your network, client systems with System Update will
be able to search for packages on your network. To change this setting, replace
the SUPPORTCENTER value with your server and share name, for example:
\\Server_X\TVSU_repository\
Note: Distributed File System (DFS), a storage management solution, can be used
when configuring the network share repository.
Working with multiple repositories: This multiple repository capability ensures
that you are getting the latest version of an update package while offering greater
flexibility of package storage. When using multiple repositories, System Update
searches for update packages in the order of the repositories defined in the registry.
System Update searches each repository location and retrieves the latest version of
an update package. Packages on the Lenovo Help Center Web site will be the most
current version. If a repository location is not found, System Update will search the
next numerical repository location. For example, if you remove the folder that
points to RepositoryLocation1, System Update will search RepositoryLocation2,
and then RepositoryLocation3.
The following illustration shows the relationship between the Lenovo Help Center,
a local system, a network share and System Update when using multiple
repositories:
In this example, System Update will search the Lenovo Help Center Web site first,
followed by the repository folder on the local system, and then the repository
folder on the network share:
Local system
System
Update
Internet
Lenovo Help Center
Network share
RepositoryLocation1
RepositoryLocation3
RepositoryLocation2
