MANAGING YOUR THIN CLIENT

There are a variety

of management

options when

installing a new

or updated image.

HP ThinState Capture

A very simple wizard-based tool is

used to capture or restore (deploy)

an image to an HP thin client from

the same model and hardware

configuration.

Allows you to either capture or

deploy a copy of:

An Image: complete ThinPro OS

with add-ons, customizations,

settings

A Configuration: connections

and settings

In two locations: FTP server or local

USB storage

Click Control Panel >

Management > ThinState.

Select the HP ThinPro image OR

the HP ThinPro configuration.

Select make a copy of OR

restore (deploy) an HP ThinPro

image, and then click Next.

Click a FTP server OR create a

bootable USB flash drive and

then click Next.

Type the FTP server information

in the fields and choose whether

or not to Compress the image.

Click Finish.

1. Select the Add button on the Connections

window list.

2. Select from the drop down list the connec-

tion you would like to add.

CREATING AND LAUNCHING CONNECTIONS

Example: adding and connecting to Citrix ICA

HP ezUpdate (Stateless Server Setup)

Embedded management solution

utilizing existing ftp resources

Set up the ezUpdate Server.

a. Create two folders in the ftp

server.

i. ezupdate root directory

ii. Directory of items you

want to deploy to your

ThinPro devices

•Custom: shell scripts based

updates (.sh)

•Image: full HP ThinPro image

created by ThinState (.dd.gz)

•Packages: one or more HP

ThinPro packages

•PersistentProfile: temporary thin

state profile or templates (.xml)

•StatelessProfile: temporary thin

state profile or template to be

installed on every boot where

no data is stored on the thin

client flash (.xml)

Note that multiple updates are possible in

the same ezUpdate tree (Image + Packages

+ Profile).

Enable ezUpdate utility by either:

a. DHCP Tag 137

(recommended method)

Recommendation: Once the ftp server

is set up and the required updates

are in place (.dd.gz, package, or

.xml profiles), we recommend you

set up your DHCP server to provide

ezUpdate server information with Tag

137. This provides you full advantage

of automatic ezUpdate deployment at

boot up on your HP ThinPro device.

b. Manually

i. Click Control Panel >

Management > ezUpdate.

ii. Input the listed fields.
