LANDesk^® Handheld and Embedded Device Manager
Key Features

Asset Management

• Inventory scanner gathers detailed hardware, software and OS data as well as custom data specific to your environment and stores it in the LANDesk^® Management Suite inventory database.
• Software inventory capabilities let you monitor what software is installed on each device.
• Change control alerting lets you configure alerts so you know when hardware or software components change for extended security and configuration.
• Asset database query helps you search the asset inventory database with an easy-to-use query builder to quickly extract reporting data or select targets for software distributions.
• Software blacklist configuration capabilities prevent users from installing unauthorized software and force users to delete existing unauthorized software.

Software Distribution

• Integrated task scheduling makes it easy to define, schedule and automate software deployments using the powerful LANDesk^® Management Suite task scheduler.
• Checkpoint restart picks up a software download exactly where it left off if a connection is interrupted.
• Task completion monitors distribution tasks and automatically retries if a download fails and reports completion status to the console.
• LANDesk^® Handheld File Exchange technology automatically transfers files to or from specific locations on selected handhelds for easy data collection or critical file distribution—no host PC required.
• The ability to deploy configurations for Citrix ICA, Microsoft RDP and Web browsers to your embedded devices extends your management reach.

Bandwidth Optimization

• Dynamic bandwidth throttling intelligently controls how much bandwidth is preserved for other client applications and limits the total bandwidth used for management tasks.
• Data compression for all management data and file downloads minimizes network traffic.

Automated Client Updates

• A zero-touch process for automatically updating client-side agents allows for fast, centralized updates without the need to manually handle client devices.

Security Assurance

• The ability to access remote, lost or misplaced wireless devices and smartphones ensures that critical data never falls into the wrong hands. Use a carrier connection to send commands to devices via a right-click in the console and:
  • Delete contacts and address book data.
  • Delete email and email attachments.
  • Lock or shut down a device.
  • Perform a soft reset.
  • Clear a device’s removable memory card.
  • Blacklist software to prevent the installation of unauthorized software.
    

History

• History logs let you see a record of all management transactions performed on each device.
