HP SMS MIF Generator Readme File
=================================

 If you are integrating the TopTools Agent with Microsoft's Systems
 Management Server(R), please read this file, which covers the
 following topics:
 
    o   Terms used
    o   Goals
    o   Software requirements
    o   Installing HP SMS MIF Generator
    o   Controlling the execution of SMSWIN
 
 
 1.1  TERMS USED
 _______________

 SMS : Microsoft's Systems Management Server

 DMI : Desktop Management Interface

 MIF : Management Information Format

 DMTF: Desktop Management Task Force.
     A consortium of 12 companies defining standards to manage 
     personal computers. The DMTF defined a set of APIs to access
     basic informations in a standard way (DMI) and a description
     language to standardize the description of manageable objects
     (MIF). The complete DMI specifications can be obtained through
     the DMTF FTP server (ftp.dmtf.org) or through the DMTF Web Page 
     (www.dmtf.org)
 
 1.2  GOALS
 __________
 
 When the SMS Inventory Agent runs at an SMS computer, it reports the
 inventory to a SMS logon server as a binary file. This file contains
 the computer's inventory in the MIF format. Microsoft's SMS uses an 
 inventory process common to all PC manufacturers. Your HP Vectra,
 Kayak, or OmniBook has extended capabilities such as security features 
 that are not reported by the standard SMS inventory tool.
 The goal of SMSWIN.EXE is to export in the SMS Database the complete
 HP feature set.
        

 1.3 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
 _________________________
 
 
 The software configuration required to run HP SMS MIF Generator 
 program is :

  o   The HP TopTools Agent must be installed on your machine.
      If it is not, but TopTools is pre-loaded on your PC, open the HP
      TopTools for Notebooks group (or menu item) and run the SETUP 
      program.
      If the TopTools Agent is not present on your system, you can get
      the software from the Web at http://www.hp.com/go/manageability
      or from a CD orderable from that web site.

  o   Your system must be manageable by Microsoft's SMS. SMSWIN.EXE
      automatically detects if the SMS client agent has been installed
      on your desktop. It does not run if your desktop does not belong
      to a SMS site or is not a HP Vectra, Kayak or OmniBook.

  o   SMSWIN.EXE supports the following operating systems:
       -   Windows 3.11, Windows for Workgroups 3.11
       -   Windows 95 or 98
       -   Windows NT Version 3.51 or higher
 
 
 1.4  INSTALLING HP SMS MIF Generator
 _____________________________________
 
 
 SMSWIN.EXE is installed optionally together with the TopTools for
 Notebooks Agent. If your system belongs to a SMS site, the SMSWIN
 program is automatically launched when you log in.

 1.5  CONTROLLING THE EXECUTION OF SMSWIN
 ________________________________________
 
 By default SMSWIN runs once a week. It scans the DMI database and
 generates the SMS MIF file corresponding to your configuration. This
 can take several minutes.

 If you do not change your machine's configuration very often, you can
 modify SMSWIN's schedule by editing the file SMSWIN.INI located in
 the same directory than SMSWIN.EXE.
 
 The file SMSWIN.INI controls the execution of SMSWIN.EXE. If it is
 not present, default values will be used.

 There are two sections in SMSWIN.INI:

   1. [SmsWin]         //contains scheduling information
      frequency = <how often to run>  valid values are:
                                        hourly
                                        daily
                                        weekly
                                        monthly
                                        yearly
    SMSWIN.EXE will be run as soon as the unit associated with the
    period changes. e.g. if frequency is yearly and you run SMSWIN on
    Dec 31 1995 and again on Jan 01 1996 then it will do a scan both
    times because it last ran in 1995 and the year is now 1996. It
    will not however run again until 1997.

      last = <time SMSWIN last did a MIF scan>

            the time is formatted as follows

                NNN MMM DD HH:MM:SS YYYY

                where NNN  is the day of the week: Sun, Mon,...
                      MMM  is the name of the month: Jan, Feb,...
                      DD   is the day of the month
                      HH   is the hour
                      MM   is the minute
                      SS   is the second
                      YYYY is the year  

        If this timestamp is hand modified to something invalid then 
        SMSWIN will run 

      HPIcon = 0 (default) or 1

        if HPIcon = 1, SMSWIN will show a new SMS architecture
        which contains most of the groups of the HP PC MIF file. 
        This new architecture is displayed in the SMS Site Window as 
        an HP icon.
        For each HP Vectra, Kayak or OmniBook, you can have two 
        different icons displayed in this window:
          - One icon generated by the standard SMS inventory
          - One HP icon generated by the SMSWIN inventory.

        If you only want the original SMS icon, set HPIcon to 0. 
        You can then choose which group you want from the HP PC
        MIF file by commenting out the corresponding classname in the 
        "exclude" section.

        Note: for this feature to work, you need to install the
        TopTools HP Icon SMS integration software on the SMS console.
        To obtain this software, please contact your HP technical
        representative. 

   2. [Exclude]      //allows SMSWIN.EXE to skip certain DMI classes.
      class = <class-string>

     Some DMI groups have no interest for an inventory point of view.
     To save some scanning time, you can exclude them from the 
     generated MIF file.
     To do this, you need to indicate the classname of the groups you 
     don't want.

     Each DMI group has a classname defined as follows:
           class = "defining body|class name|version number"

     To remove a given group from your generated MIF file, place a
     line
           class = <class-string>
     in the [Exclude] section of SMSWIN.INI.
     To add one group, comment out (//) the corresponding classname

     The DMTF can change some DMI groups. To reflect this, the version
     number of the group is incremented. If you don't want to change
     your SMSWIN.INI file each time the DMTF releases a new version of
     a given group, limit your "class-string" to
                "defining body|class name"                      


  The following is a sample SMSWIN.INI:

  [SmsWin]
  frequency = daily ; or "hourly", "weekly", "monthly", "yearly"
  last = Sun Jan 01 01:01:01 1991
  HPIcon = 1

  [Exclude]
  class = DMTF|ComponentID ;drops all classes with class string 
                             starting with "DMTF|ComponentID"
