Downloading
and
installing
updates
The
following
list
provides
the
three
different
methods
you
can
use
to
download
and
install
update
packages:
v
Lenovo
Help
Center
Web
site
v
Locally
on
a
client
system
v
Network
shared
drive
The
following
sections
define
each
method
in
detail,
so
that
you
can
provide
the
best
configuration
for
your
organization.
Using
the
Lenovo
Help
Center
Web
site
You
can
manually
initiate
a
check
for
new
updates
using
EasyUpdate.
EasyUpdate
notifies
you
that
the
following
information
is
communicated
to
determine
the
applicable
update
packages
for
your
system:
v
Machine
type
v
Operating
system
v
Language
EasyUpdate
will
then
provide
a
selectable
list
of
updates.
You
will
have
the
option
to
defer
updates,
so
you
can
download
the
update
package
but
install
it
at
a
later
time,
or
you
can
download
and
install
the
update
packages
immediately.
Once
you
select
the
updates
to
download
and
confirm
the
selections,
the
updates
are
downloaded
and
installed
your
system.
Using
a
repository
on
a
client
system
You
can
set
up
your
computer
to
store
update
packages
locally.
Do
this
by
creating
a
folder
on
your
computer
to
be
used
as
the
repository,
and
then
change
the
repository
path
in
the
registry
that
points
to
that
repository
on
your
local
computer.
Using
a
repository
on
a
network
share
You
can
download
and
install
new
updates
from
a
repository
that
resides
on
a
network
share.
EasyUpdate
will
retrieve
the
end
user
credentials
(user
name
and
password)
needed
for
authentication
from
the
application
properties
as
encrypted
strings.
If
a
user
name
and
password
does
not
exist,
EasyUpdate
will
still
attempt
to
connect
to
the
network
share
but
will
prompt
the
user
to
provide
a
user
name
and
password.
Note:
The
user
name
and
password
properties
can
be
managed
by
Active
Directory.
Since
the
user
name
and
password
must
be
encrypted
when
used
as
an
application
property,
an
administrator
can
use
a
Lenovo
supplied
utility
called
MapDrv
to
generate
encrypted
strings
for
the
user
name
and
password
using
a
software
key.
For
additional
information
about
the
MapDrv
utility,
see
The
following
keys
are
used
to
store
the
user
name
and
password:
HKLM\Software\Lenovo\MND\TSEUAPPLICATION\UNC=<network
share>
HKLM\Software\Policies\Lenovo\MND\TSEUAPPLICATION\UNC=
<network
share>
HKLM\Software\Lenovo\MND\TSEUAPPLICATION\Pwd=
<encrypted
password>
If
an
Active
Directory
policy
is
used,
these
values
are
stored
at:
HKLM\Software\Policies\Lenovo\MND\TSEUAPPLICATION\UNC=
<network
share>
