System Profile
The System Profile provides a convenient notebook of perti-
nent data about a particular user or system. It features
many predefined fields for extensive user-specific data,
including name, address, office number and location, and
phone number. System Profile also includes many pre-
defined fields for system-specific data that might not be
available to the System Information Tool, including model
and serial numbers and date of purchase. Finally, there are
many user-definable miscellaneous fields that can be used
to hold any data the user or administrator requires.

Update Connector Manager
Use Update Connector Manager to quickly and easily gather
information about various updates that are available for your
client systems. Once available updates are discovered, use
Update Connector Manager to apply updates to your sys-
tems remotely. Updates can be applied to individual sys-
tems, or you can apply multiple updates to multiple systems,
all from Netfinity Manager. You can also use Update Con-
nector Manager to remove previously applied updates.
Update Connector Manager also includes a scheduler that
you can use to discover, apply, or remove updates automati-
cally and periodically.
