6 Administration and Image Upgrades This section highlights and discusses the Remote Administration capabilities and firmware upgrade methods applicable to the thin client. HP Device Manager HP Device Manager is a server-based application that provides centralized administration capabilities for HP thin client devices. It accesses the thin client through the HP Management Agent which is embedded in the standard thin client WES image to enable Device Manager to manage devices out-ofthe-box (agents on older devices, however, may need to be upgraded). For additional information concerning the HP Device Manager and the HP Management Agent, please check the HP support site for these applications or for other important updates or documentation: http://www.hp.com/support. Select the country/region from the map, then select See support and troubleshooting information or Download drivers and software (and firmware). Type the thin client model in the field and click Enter. HP Client Automation HP Client Automation is an enterprise-wide client management solution for both physical and virtual clients. In addition to being able to completely manage traditional desktop and notebook PCs, HPCA can also manage thin client devices and the back-end virtual infrastructures they connect to. It significantly reduces the management challenges and complexities of thin client devices and client virtualization technologies by providing automation tools for creating and deploying operating system images, software updates, and tracking hardware assets. By using the same management console and tools for all client devices, HPCA helps customers reduce costs and simplify operations. For additional information concerning HP Client Automation, see http://www.hp.com/go/easydeploy. HP ThinState Capture and Deploy The HP ThinState Capture tool is a very simple wizard-based tool that can be used to capture an HP thin client WES image, which can then be deployed to another HP thin client of identical model and hardware. For more information about the HP ThinState Capture tool, see HP ThinState on page 24. 40 Chapter 6 Administration and Image Upgrades
