On another device, use the following method to test whether you can access the repository with full control. HP
recommends that you test the access from a thin client, especially if the repository will be used in a domain environment.
Go to Start > Run and type the path name of the FTP. Repeat this process with the Shared Folder path.
Figure 3. Testing access to the FTP
Figure 4. Testing access to the Shared Folder
Use the following steps to test the full control access to the repository. All operations must succeed; otherwise, you need to
fix the mistakes in the repository settings.
1. Create two folders in the HPDM directory.
2. Delete one of them.
3. Access the repository with the Shared Folder.
4. Verify that you can see the folder created in step 1.
5. Create another folder.
6. Delete both folders.
If you use a Shared Folder with domain credentials, please make sure that the group policy does not block access from
devices not in domain, because the devices will be out of domain during the imaging process.
Master Repository configuration
After preparing the file servers, select one to serve as the Master Repository. On the same file server, install the Master
Repository Controller. This document assumes you know how to install the Master Repository Controller. See the HP Device
