Using the HP Registry Import/Export Feature for CE .NET 4.21 HP Image Refresh Abstract Introduction Using the Registry Import/Export Tool Clearing the Destination Registry This paper explains the function of the Registry Import/Export feature for HP Compaq t5000 thin clients. CE .NET HP Image Refresh 4.21 includes the Registry Import/Export tool, an HP engineered software technology that makes it significantly easier and more cost efficient for IT professionals to manage HP thin clients. Registry Import/Export allows thin client devices to inherent properties of other thin client devices. IMPORTANT: Your source and target machine must have the same image with the same quantity of software add-ons. These software add-ons must be of the same revision. The Registry Import/Export Tool cannot upgrade or downgrade application versions. Extracting the settings of one device and re-deploying the same settings to other devices reduces network congestion. Registry settings can be 100 to 10,000 times smaller than the entire image. NOTE: The Import/Export process may take approximately two minutes to complete. To export a registry from one thin client and import to another, perform the steps in the following sections. Before importing a new registry to a thin client, you must make sure that the destination machine has a clear registry. To clear the registry, drag and drop CE_RegReset from the Job window to the Destination Computer. NOTE: This process will take two to three minutes to complete. 2
