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. HP FTP Image Update HP FTP Image Update Client is a control panel utility that allows image update from an FTP share to an HP thin client system running WES or XPe operating system. For additional information please go to HP FTP Image Update on page 46. 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 or XPe 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 Capture on page 42. 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. For additional information about this utility and its uses, visit the HP Web site at http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00485307/c00485307.pdf. 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.
