IBM Software Overview IBM Endpoint Manager offers a unified management platform that automates and streamlines systems and security management for endpoints and servers. Through the use of single-agent, single-console technology for enterprise endpoint management, IBM Endpoint Manager can help you: Manage your endpoints regardless of location, connection, type or status from a single management server. Leverage the robust Endpoint Manager platform - Execute highly targeted ad-hoc queries and actions in minutes based on nearly any computer property. Reduce management complexity and cost while increasing accuracy and boosting productivity. This document will assist new users with the trial of the IBM Endpoint Manager by demonstrating the steps in obtaining and installing the IBM Endpoint Manager trial packages, performing a remote client installation, and becoming familiar with a few key concepts including Sites and Analyses. The installation process takes approximately 15 minutes followed by a content gathering process that will run in the background without your need to supervise it. Once the product is installed, you may opt to perform a few other activities while IBM Endpoint Manager automatically obtains the latest application content for you! Any time after the gather process has begun, you may continue with the steps in this document to familiarize yourself further with the product.

Enabling analyses Analyses provide a visual view and summarization of various properties of IBM Endpoint Manager client computers across a network. With analyses, you can create and track specified properties of managed IBM Endpoint Manager clients. For example, when a new site is added to IBM Endpoint Manager, an inventory check that is associated with the new site is performed on the client systems. Several product-provided analyses examine various aspects of networked computers such as hardware, applications, and component relationships. In this exercise, you enable analyses. Note: Not all sites have associated analyses. 1. In the IBM Endpoint Manager Console, click All Content domain. 2. Click the Analyses node. Page 20 IBM Endpoint Manager 9 - Trial Software
IBM Software The Analyses list is displayed on the right. 3. Click the Site column header to order by site name. 4. Press the Shift key and select the first analysis in the list. 5. Scroll to the bottom of the list and while still pressing the Shift key, select the last analysis in the list. All of the analyses in the list are now selected. 6. Right-click the selected analyses and select Activate. The Status column changes to Activated Globally for these five selections. The activated analyses are sent to all the IBM Endpoint Manager clients and are evaluated for relevance. The clients report back their status according to the site specification. Specific properties of networked IBM Endpoint Manager clients can now be monitored from the console. You can see information specific to each of the analyses on the description page for each analysis. Reviewing active analyses In this exercise, you review the results of the recently activated analyses. 1. From the IBM Endpoint Manager console, open the Systems Lifecycle domain by clicking Systems Lifecycle. The navigation pane updates to display only the content associated with the Systems Lifecycle domain. 2. Expand the Inventory Management node. 3. Expand the Windows Inventory node and select the Analyses node. The list on the right now displays analyses associated with Inventory Management. 4. In the Analyses list, locate and select the Random Access Memory (RAM) Properties (Windows) analysis. The Analysis: Random Access Memory (RAM) Properties (Windows) panel opens in the work area below and displays the details for this analysis. 5. Click the Details tab. The Details page displays a property-by-property listing of the analysis and the relevance statement that is being used to target the chosen computers. 6. Click the Results tab and review the data gathered by this analysis. This step typically takes 1–2 minutes. If no results are available yet, wait a moment for the clients to evaluate the properties and return the values to the server. Overview Page 21
IBM Software The Results page displays the actual results of the analysis, which you can filter and sort by the preassigned properties. This tab is available only when the analysis has been activated. This information can be displayed as a list or as a summary. 7. Repeat the steps in this exercise for other analyses in the list. Tip: If a property value on the Results tab is multiple results you can hover your cursor above the value to display a list of the results. Page 22 IBM Endpoint Manager 9 - Trial Software
