To use the Update User Information dialog box to report inventory information:

1. From the Start menu, choose Update User Information.
   The Software Distribution - Update User Information dialog box appears.
   
2. Change the settings of items as applicable, and then click Finish.
   The following message appears:

3. Click Save & Upload.
   The inventory information is reported to the managing server.
   Note: If a client is set up to automatically report updated inventory information to the managing server and to use WUA to detect patch information, reporting of user inventory information to the managing server may take a long time after the Save & Upload button is clicked.
