Appendix D: ezUpdate for
Windows XPe Appliances
This appendix explains how to set up ezUpdate for automatic updates to
your Windows XPe-based Neoware appliance software.
ezUpdate and Windows XPe
ezRemote Manager Rel. 2.4.2 (and later) and Neoware’s imple-
mentation of Microsoft Windows XP Embedded (XPe) Rel. 1.2
(and later) contain enhancements that allow for the automatic
server update of appliance software images and appliance software
snap-ins. These enhancements collectively are called “ezUpdate.”
Once enabled, ezUpdate can work with your XPe-based thin client
appliances to automatically download software from a server (the
“ezUpdate server”) when they are initially installed and powered
on for the first time. In addition, each time the appliance boots, it
checks with the server to see if there is a newer version of software
that should be downloaded.
Suggested
implementations
Easy configuration of brand-new Windows XPe thin client
appliances (plug-and-work installation) -- by configuring DHCP
to provide ezUpdate information to new XPe thin clients, instal-
lation can be as simple as plugging in all of the connections.
Set and use multiple profiles for XPe thin client appliances used
in different roles
Easy roll-out of snap-ins to in-place XPe thin client appliances
