Altiris Deployment Solution Software NOTE: Although the Altiris Client agent is preinstalled, a free license is no longer included on the HP t5740 Series and all new HP thin clients going forward. To purchase a license, contact Altiris at http://www.altiris.com. The Altiris Deployment Solution software is a full-featured remote administration tool set. It accesses the thin client through the Altiris remote Agent and PXE server utilities installed on the thin client. Altiris allows you to perform the thin client administration functions (including firmware upgrades) without requiring an administrator to visit the individual thin client sites. For more information about Altiris, see http://www.altiris.com. HP Compaq Thin Client Imaging Tool The HP Compaq Thin Client Imaging Tool is part of the SoftPaq deliverable that contains the original factory image for the HP thin client. You can use this utility to restore the original factory image to the thin client. This utility allows you to perform the following options: ● Create a bootable flash image on a USB flash device (such as on a disk on key). ● Unbundle the image to a directory for use in a custom deployment scenario or PXE image. To download your restore image Softpaq, visit the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com/support. Select the country from the map, then click Support & Drivers. Select Download drivers and software (and firmware), type the thin client model in the field, and click Enter. Choose your operating system, and then select and download the appropriate image. Image Upgrades Some management tools require PXE to install an operating system image. The Intel Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) is a protocol that defines interaction between TCP/IP, DHCP and TFTP to enable a client to download a preboot environment from a server. PXE allows a client to boot from a server on a network prior to booting the embedded operating system or the operating system from the local flash module. PXE allows a network administrator to remotely wake up a thin client and perform various management tasks, including loading the operating system and other software onto the thin client from a server over the network. The PXE client is installed on the thin client and the PXE server component is part of the Altiris Deployment Solution suite. NOTE: Citrix ICA auto update does not function for the ICA client installed on the thin client; updates are implemented through the standard firmware upgrade process.
