Feature released in SummitAI for IT Asset Management (Denali SP3 HF02)

What's New?

Now, the SummitAI Asset Management has capability to deploy to manage ISO images and build upgrade the Windows based operating system.

These newly added capabilities of the application are completed into the following three stages:

  • Stage 1: Update Download and ISO Image Creation
  • Stage 2: Software package UI Changes
  • Stage 3: Software Deployment

Process Flow

Stage 1: Update Download and ISO Image Creation.

This activity occurs in the Customer’s environment where customer will access the Microsoft Website and download the ISO image based on the latest version.

 

Stage 2: Software package UI Changes

After the stage one is successfully executed, build the software package using Software Package web console of the SummitAI application. As part of the newly added application capabilities, various new fields are added on the following pages:

  • Software Package page
    • OS Patch option of the Software Type attribute is renamed to Windows Feature Update. For Windows 10 Feature Update, the package source is always external and can support only UNC and HTTP.
    • Two new mandatory fields Applicable OS Version and KBID are appended on the SOFTWARE PACKAGE These fields are populated only when Windows 10 Feature Update option is selected in the Software Type attribute. This empowers the user to select the required OS version and the related KB articles.

  • Software Package List page
      • On the FILTERS pop-up, OS Patch option of the Software Type is renamed to Windows Feature Update. This narrows down the search result based on the Windows 10 Feature Update.

      • A new Software Type column is appended on the Software Package List page. The user can view the Software type on the list page without navigating to the Software Package detail page. This reduces number of clicks and improve the usability.
