Opalis IP for Microsoft SMS

Automate Software Deployment Tasks
Opalis Integration Server connects data center components to automate processes in a way that is simple, fast and effective. The Opalis Integration Pack for SMS extends these capabilities to Microsoft System Management Server so IT staff can automate software deployment tasks during the maintenance window.

Remove Routine Tasks from Your To-do List
Automating routine maintenance procedures with Opalis Integration Server allows administrators to stop spending their time on repetitive tasks and focus on more strategic projects. With the Opalis Integration Pack for SMS, automated maintenance can also include patching servers or installing new software.

Automate Processes Around Patch Deployment
Opalis Integration Server and the Opalis Integration Pack for SMS provide the tools to coordinate the activity of SMS to apply patches with other system operations, such as specific sequence shutdown, and to restore procedures for applications and services.

Policies
1. Automatically install patches with SMS

This policy monitors a directory for new patch files. When patches are available, the policy shuts down key services and applications, applies the patch and restarts everything.

2. Send a patch to a collection of Computers

This policy checks computers within an SMS collection for the latest patch updates. If the computers have not been patched to the correct level, then the patches are sent through a new advertisement.
