IBM Tivoli Endpoint Manager (TEM) is a powerful, cross-platform systems management suite for remotely managing and monitoring workstations, and it is the tool upon which the Systems Management @ Penn State (SysMan) service is based. In addition to utilizing power savings, inventory, and reporting features, systems administrators can employ TEM’s software distribution tools to quickly and silently install applications and settings to both on- and off-site workstations. This session will present the basics of TEM and help you get started quickly packaging and deploying software, updates, and settings to Mac computers. We will also touch on relevance language and action script, examine helpful analyses and reports, and look at best practices and recommendations for building an effective software deployment process with TEM.
