Exporting and Importing a Registry

To export a registry:

1. Open the Deployment Server Console.

2. Select CE_RegExport from the Job window and drag and drop the Job to the source unit under

the Computers window. This copies the source computer’s registry and prepares it for import.

3. Select CE_RegImport from the Job window and drag and drop the job to the destination

computer under the Computers window. This imports the settings from the source computer to the

destination computer.

Importing a Registry to Multiple Units

You can import a single registry to multiple units. To import a registry to multiple units:

1. Select CE_RegExport from the Job window and drag and drop the Job to the source unit under

the Computers window. This copies the source computer’s registry and prepares it for import.

2. Select CE_RegImport from the Job window and drag and drop the job to “All Computers” under

the Computers window. This imports the settings from the source computer to the network.

Exporting Registries from Multiple Units

While it is possible to export registries from multiple thin clients, it is important to ensure the registry

files have different names. The export process saves a time stamp as part of the name for the saved file

(for example, 051306840.reg, which is May 13, 2006 at 8:40). If you export multiple units at the

same time, the registry file names will be identical. To create distinct file names for each registry, HP

recommends that you capture each registry a minute apart.
