Configuring the HEAT PatchLink DeskTop Server

If you didn't configure HEAT PatchLink DeskTop for System Center for your network following installation, launch the HEAT PatchLink DeskTop for System Center Configuration Wizard. This wizard allows end-to-end configuration of HEAT PatchLink DeskTop so that it can operate in your network. You can use it to point toward a proxy server, configure communication with a remote Primary Site Server/Central Administration Site, and enter a serial number.

From the Workspace (the lower panel on the left), make sure that Administration is selected.
From the Administration tree, select HEAT PatchLink DeskTop for System Center > Settings.
Click the Configuration Wizard link.
Review the Before You Begin page. Before continuing, complete each prerequisite listed.
More information on completing these tasks is available in Completing Configuration Prerequisites.
After each prerequisite is met, click Next to proceed with configuration.
If your enterprise uses a proxy server between your network and the Internet, enter the proxy server information. If it doesn't, skip to the next step.
1. In the Hostname field, type the proxy server's name or IP address.
2. In the Port field, type the port number that the proxy uses to route communication.
3. If your proxy requires user authentication to access the Internet, select the Proxy authentication is required checkbox and enter a Username and Password that authenticate.
Click Next.
In the SCCM server field, type the name of your primary site server/CAS (if it isn't filled in automatically).
Select the Windows authentication is required checkbox and then type the Username and Password for the user account you created earlier.

Note: You can skip this step if HEAT PatchLink DeskTop is installed directly on your primary site server/CAS.
Click Next. Click OK to dismiss the communications check when it opens.
Click the Import Certificate button to browse for the signing certificate and import it to your WSUS Server. If you already had a signing certificate installed on your WSUS Server before installing HEAT PatchLink DeskTop, the certificate details are displayed.

Note: Instead of clicking Update Certificate, you can drag and drop your certifcate into the WSUS Signing Certificate Information section.
Enter the Serial number that you received in your email from HEAT Software when you purchased the product.
If you can't find your serial number, contact HEAT Software Sales.
Click Activate. When activation completes, click OK.
Review the Completion page to make sure all the information is correct.
Click Close.
