Desktop Management HP Client Management Solutions (available for download from http://www.hp.com/go/EasyDeploy) provides standards-based solutions for managing and controlling workstations in a networked environment. This section summarizes the capabilities and features of the key components of desktop management: Initial Configuration and Deployment Remote System Installation Software Updating and Management ROM Flash Asset Tracking and Security Fault Notification and Recovery NOTE Support for specific features described in this guide might vary by model or software version. Initial Configuration and Deployment The workstation comes with a preinstalled system software image. After a brief software "unbundling" process, the workstation is ready to use. You may prefer to replace the preinstalled software image with a customized set of system and application software. There are several methods for deploying a customized software image. They include: Installing additional software applications after unbundling the preinstalled software image. Using software deployment tools, such as Altiris Deployment Solutions™, to replace the preinstalled software with a customized software image. Using a disk cloning process to copy the contents from one hard drive to another. The best deployment method depends on your information technology environment and processes. The PC Deployment section of the HP Lifecycle Solutions Web site (http://whp-sp-orig.extweb.hp.com/ country/us/en/solutions.html) provides information to help you select the best deployment method. The Restore Plus! CD, ROM-based setup, and ACPI hardware provide further assistance with recovery of system software, configuration management and troubleshooting, and power management. Remote System Installation Remote System Installation lets you start and set up your system using the software and configuration information located on a network server. This feature is usually used as a system setup and configuration tool, and can be used for the following tasks: Deploying a software image on one or more new PCs Formatting a hard drive Installing application software or drivers Updating the operating system, application software, or drivers 42 SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
