Introduction

Purpose

The HP Compaq 6720t Mobile Thin Client is considered to be the replacement for the pre-merger

M100 Mobile Thin Client offered by Neoware. However, the XPe image for the HP Compaq 6720t

does not contain the EZUpdate agent that resides in the M100 XPe image. The HP recommended

management solution to replace the EZUpdate functionality found in the M100 is Altiris. Included with

your purchase of the 6720t is a license for Altiris Deployment Solution. The local Altiris agent is

already preinstalled in the XPe image for the 6720t, so customers will not be required to install the

agent. Detailed instructions on setting up and using the Altiris Deployment Solution can be found at

the following location.

Audience

This white paper is for use by legacy Neoware customers that are familiar with the EZUpdate

functionality offered in Neoware branded Thin Clients.
