Configure the settings of a system to manage how it operates.

Before you begin, you must connect the system to the server as a managed system.
  1. In the SystemLink web application under Systems Management, click Systems.
  2. Double-click the system you want to modify the settings for.
  3. On the System Settings tab, enter an alias to make the system easy to identify.
    When a client system connects to a SystemLink Server, the server uses the system's hostname to identify it. A hostname is often not human readable because IT administrators require each hostname in a network be unique. Changing the system alias helps you quickly identify the system.
    Tip Use the comments field to further identify the system.
  4. Assign properties or keywords to your systems to facilitate searching and filtering.
    The following table describes different use cases for keywords and properties.

  7. On the Time Settings tab, set the date and time for your system.
  8. On the Network Settings tab, set the network settings for your system.
You can filter or search for the system by alias, keywords, or properties.
