6 Registry Import/Export This chapter explains how to import/export a thin client registry using Altiris Deployment Server. For more information about Altiris, see http://www.altiris.com/. For information about installing an Altiris BootWorks partition, see http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c0 0215445/c00215445.pdf. The Registry Import/Export tool is an HP-engineered software technology that makes it significantly easier and more cost efficient to manage HP thin clients. Registry Import/Export allows thin client devices to inherit properties of other thin client devices. Extracting the settings of one device and redeploying the same settings to other devices reduces network congestion. Registry settings can be 100 to 10,000 times smaller than the entire image. Please note the following about the Registry Import/Export tool: ■ The tools requires extensive knowledge of Altiris Deployment Server. ■ The source and target machine must have the same image with the same quantity of software add-ons, and the software add-ons must be of the same revision. The Registry Import/Export Tool cannot upgrade or downgrade application versions. ■ The import/export process may take approximately two minutes to complete. Ä CAUTION: Currently, Registry Import/Export between the HP Compaq t5510 thin client and the HP Compaq t53x0 and t5500 thin clients is not supported. Administrator's Guide www.hp.com 6-1

Registry Import/Export
This chapter explains how to import/export a thin client registry using
Altiris Deployment Server. For more information about Altiris, see
.
For information about installing an Altiris BootWorks partition, see
0215445/c00215445.pdf
.
The Registry Import/Export tool is an HP-engineered software
technology that makes it significantly easier and more cost efficient
to manage HP thin clients. Registry Import/Export allows thin client
devices to inherit properties of other thin client devices. Extracting
the settings of one device and redeploying the same settings to other
devices reduces network congestion. Registry settings can be 100 to
10,000 times smaller than the entire image.
Please note the following about the Registry Import/Export tool:
The tools requires extensive knowledge of Altiris Deployment
Server.
The source and target machine must have the same image with
the same quantity of software add-ons, and the software add-ons
must be of the same revision. The Registry Import/Export Tool
cannot upgrade or downgrade application versions.
The import/export process may take approximately two minutes
to complete.
Ä
CAUTION:
Currently, Registry Import/Export between the HP Compaq
t5510 thin client and the HP Compaq t53x0 and t5500 thin clients is
not
supported.
