6 Registry Import/Export ATTENTION: When deploying an image and settings from a "source" or "master" thin client to a "target" thin client, please make sure that source/master and target thin clients have identical hardware. This is applicable regardless of deployment method being used: HP ThinState Tools, Altiris Deployment Solution, HP OpenView Client Configuration Manager, or any other deployment solution being used. 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/c00215445/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. CAUTION: Currently, Registry Import/Export between the HP t5510 thin client and the HP t53x0 and t5500 thin clients is not supported. Clearing the Destination Registry Before importing a new registry to a thin client, you must clear the destination machine registry. To clear the registry, drag and drop CE_RegReset from the Job window to the Destination Computer. Completion of this process takes two to three minutes. 82 Chapter 6 Registry Import/Export

Registry Import/Export
ATTENTION
: When deploying an image and settings from a “source” or “master” thin client to a
“target” thin client, please make sure that source/master and target thin clients have identical
hardware. This is applicable regardless of deployment method being used: HP ThinState Tools, Altiris
Deployment Solution, HP OpenView Client Configuration Manager, or any other deployment solution
being used.
This chapter explains how to import/export a thin client registry using Altiris Deployment Server. For
more information about Altiris, see

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.
CAUTION:
Currently, Registry Import/Export between the HP t5510 thin client and the HP t53x0 and
t5500 thin clients is not supported.
Clearing the Destination Registry
Before importing a new registry to a thin client, you must clear the destination machine registry. To
clear the registry, drag and drop
CE_RegReset
from the Job window to the Destination Computer.
Completion of this process takes two to three minutes.
