3 Desktop Management HP Intelligent Manageability provides standards-based solutions for managing and controlling desktops, workstations, and notebook PCs in a networked environment. The capabilities and features of the seven key components of desktop management are: ■ Initial configuration and deployment ■ ROM flash ■ Security ✎ Support for specific features described in this guide may vary by model or software version. 3.1 Initial Configuration and Deployment HP computers come with a preinstalled system software image. After a brief software "unbundling" process, the computer is ready to be used. A customized software image may be deployed by: ■ Installing additional software applications after unbundling the preinstalled software image. ■ Using software deployment tools, such as Altiris eXpress, 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 Solutions and Services Web site http://h18000.www1.hp.com/solutions/pcsolutions 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.
