Desktop Management Guide Within minutes of installation, Altiris eXpress is able to install a disk image containing the operating system, application software, and the Altiris eXpress client, without requiring the use of a separate boot diskette. With Altiris eXpress, the network administrator can: ■ Create a new image or edit an existing image, or clone a PC on the network which may have the ideal image. ■ Create any number of customized disk images for a variety of workgroups. ■ Edit image files, modifying them without having to start from scratch. This is possible because Altiris eXpress stores files in its native format: NTFS, FAT16, or FAT32. ■ Establish a "New PC Event," a script that will run automatically when a new PC is added to the network. The script can, for instance, format the PC hard drive, flash the ROM BIOS, and install a full, standard software image. ■ Schedule an event to run on a group of computers. Altiris eXpress also includes easy-to-use software distribution capabilities. You can use Altiris eXpress to update operating systems and application software from a central console. When used in conjunction with System Software Manager, or HP Client Manager, Altiris eXpress can also update ROM BIOS and device driver software.
