Question Answer
Are there any updates necessary for Altiris Deployment Server
to work on an HP Compaq Linux thin client?
Yes. There is a hot fix available from Altiris which includes
updates to the imaging process and the DOS agent
Bootwork.exe. This hot fix includes a sample script that allows
capture and deployment of images using Rdeployt.exe, as well
as a new Bootwork.exe file that recognizes the bootloader in
the image. This hot fix is available from the Altiris Web site
support page.
What are the steps to capture and deploy an image on an HP
Compaq Linux thin client?
The thin client supports the Linux version of the Altiris Remote
Management Client. Altiris management software allows you to
remotely capture and deploy Linux images. You can use the
Altiris Rdeployt tool, a text-base utility, to perform this function.
