HP Device Manager 4.6 - HP t5740 Windows XPe Support Guide

File and registry tasks
File and registry
The File and registry task works to deploy files, execute commands, and pause taks. Also tested were tasks to capture the
agent log file, delete the Internet Explorer shortcut file for All Users Desktop, apply registry settings to update grouping
data, and add a program record. All tasks completed successfully.
Get Registry
A quick test to capture the HKLM\SOFTWARE\HP\DM Agent key from a thin client completed without issue. The contents of
the template generated were verified and sent back to same device and the task completed without issue.
Operations tasks
Get Asset Information
A quick test to execute the Get Asset Information task completed without issue and correctly updated device properties.
Shutdown\Reboot
Both the Shutdown and Reboot power-management tasks were tested and work properly.
Send Message
A quick test to perform a Send Message task completed successfully.
Resource Monitor
When sent to a XPe thin client, the _Start Resource Monitor task succeeded, but resource information did not update in the
Resource Monitor window on the HPDM Console even though ports were configured on both the thin client and server. This
is because the rule that allows the outbound ports for HPDM is limited to the HPDM Agent process only and the Resource
Monitor feature uses a separate application to send the resource data. To resolve this issue, you need to use the procedure
in the Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) Firewall
section to add and deploy the following application to the rule titled
Allow HPDM Agent TCP:
C:\Windows\XPEAgent\winmon.exe
