HP Proactive Change Notification, Subscriber’s Choice

SoftPaq updates to the correct client system models, administrators can confidently and efficiently use SSM to keep system software updated.

System Software Manager integrates with enterprise software distribution tools such as HP Client Automation solutions, HP Client Manager from Symantec, and Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS). Using SSM, customer-created or third-party updates that have been packaged in the SSM-format can be distributed.

SSM may be downloaded at no charge by visiting http://www.hp.com/go/ssm.

NOTE: SSM does not currently support remote ROM flash on systems that have Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption enabled and are using TPM measurements to protect the BitLocker keys because flashing the BIOS would invalidate the Trust Signature that BitLocker created for the platform. Disable BitLocker via Group Policy in order to flash the system BIOS.

Enable BitLocker support without TPM measurements of BIOS to avoid invalidating the BitLocker keys. HP recommends you keep a secure backup of the BitLocker credentials in case of recovery emergencies.
