Assets are real devices such as computers, printers, phones, modem jacks or any other items that are
identified as unique objects in the database. Assets can be defined manually in the
Worker Console.
Helpdesk Solution also lets you import assets from the Notification Server and Microsoft SMS
databases, you can also register and import from multiple sources.For more information, see the
Altiris eXpress Inventory Solution User Guide on the product CD or on our web site at http://
www.altiris.com/support/documentation.
Note You do not have to register your Notification Server computer as a source. Usually, it is auto-
registered during Helpdesk Solution setup and the auto-import policy is active by default. The
registration process is only necessary if you want to import items from a foreign Notification Server,
if the auto-registration process failed or was cancelled, or if you have deleted the auto-registered
source.
