Deployment
This chapter discusses the various methods that can deploy HP Easy Shell to multiple thin clients. The best
method depends on your use case and environment.

Deploying a preconfigured thin client image
HP Easy Shell can be deployed by configuring it on a thin client image that will be captured and deployed to
other thin clients. The most efficient way to deploy an image to multiple thin clients is via HPDM, which has
preset templates for capturing and deploying an image.
Deploying HP Easy Shell to existing thin client images
1.
Configure HP Easy Shell on a single system, and then export the configuration as a registry file, as
described in
Exporting and deploying an HP Easy Shell
configuration
on page
13
.
2.
Copy the registry file to the system running the HPDM Console.
3.
Use the HP FTP Software Component Browser to locate the HP Easy Shell package on the HP FTP site,
and then generate a
_File and Registry
template for the package.
4.
Add a subtask to the template and import the registry file containing the exported configuration.
5.
Deploy the template to the target thin clients.
Exporting and deploying an HP Easy Shell configuration
An HP Easy Shell configuration can be exported as a Windows registry file so that it can easily be deployed to
other thin clients.
NOTE:
Be sure that HP Easy Shell is being deployed simultaneously or is already installed on each thin
client.
To export an HP Easy Shell configuration to a registry file:
1.
Click the
Export
button in the lower-left corner of the HP Easy Shell Configuration utility.
2.
Select the destination folder, and then enter a name for the configuration.
3.
Click
Save
.
NOTE:
An HP Easy Shell configuration can also be exported to a registry file by entering the following in an
administrator Command Prompt (make sure to include the double quotes around the file path if it contains
spaces):
hpeasyshell.exe /export "<registry file>.reg"
The registry file can be imported into a
_File and Registry
template in HPDM. The template can then be used
to deploy the configuration to the target thin clients.
You can also deploy the exported registry file to other thin clients in either of the following ways:
