Updating thin clients ● Using the broadcast update method ● Using the DHCP tag update method ● Using the DNS alias update method ● Using the manual update method Using the broadcast update method To do a broadcast update, plug the thin client into the same network as the update server. A broadcast update relies on HP Smart Client Services, which works with IIS to automatically push updates to the thin client. NOTE: Broadcast updates work only if the thin client is on the same subnet as the server. TIP: To verify that the broadcast updates are working, run the Profile Editor and make some changes. Connect the thin client and verify that it has downloaded the new profile. If it has not, see Troubleshooting on page 67. Viewing the Automatic Update website 59
