the Proliant Integration Module is on the RDP cd. I have found it
impossible to find on the HP site but if you google Rapid Deployment Pack,
it will take you right to a download page on the HP site. I think 3.6 is
the current version. Dowload the iso, burn it, and you can load PIM from
there. Once you see it, it will make sense what they are doing. it is just
a bunch of Altiris bin files etc.
