Abstract
Methods of determining status of advertised system management server (SMS) packages at a client device include receiving a request for a determination of the status from a user at the client device. Responsive to the received request and without further input from the user a plurality of SMS packages that have been advertised to the client device may be identified, an installation status of the identified plurality of SMS packages may be determined and a graphical user interface (GUI) may be generated. The GUI lists the identified plurality of SMS packages and provides a visual indication of the determined installation status of the listed plurality of SMS packages. The generated GUI may be displayed to the user on a display of the client device.
