HP Device Manager 4.6 - HP t5740 Windows XPe Support Guide

Wake on LAN
Settings tasks
Apply Settings
The apply VNC to enable the VNC service on the thin client worked without issue. No other settings were tested. Although no
issues are expected with the Apply settings task, HP recommends testing any custom settings tasks with one or more test
units prior to deployment.
Clone Settings
A quick test to send a Clone Settings task for all available settings of the Administrator account completed without issue.
The hostname, time zone, and Internet Explorer home page were modified in the resulting template and applied to same
device. The task completed successfully and the modified settings were verified on device.
Hostname and IP
A quick test to send a Hostname and IP task to change the hostname and set a static IP completed successfully and
changed the settings, verified on device.
Set Domain
A quick test to change the workgroup completed successfully and the change was verified on thin client. Another quick test
to join the thin client to a domain completed successfully and was verified by the domain logon on the device. Note that
after setting the domain on the device, it is set to automatically log on as the local User account unless modified.
Set Password
A quick test to change the password for the Administrator account completed successfully and changed the passwordword.
Write Filter Settings
Quick tests were performed to enable and disable both the partition and file-based write filers (EWF, FBWF). All tasks
completed successfully and the changes were verified on the device.
Untested HPDM 4.5 features
Not all features were tested for this document. These features were either not tested or not verified because either the
feature is not applicable or resources were not available.
Take TPM Ownership
Because the HP t5740 thin client does not have a Trusted Platform Module, the Take TPM ownership task is not applicable.
PXE imaging
PXE imaging was not tested for this document. Use this document to image devices without using PXE.
Templates imported from FTP Component Browser
Although none of the items available in the FTP Component Browser are targeted for XPe, some items targeted for WES
might work. Because of resource contraints, no packages available in the FTP Component Browser have been test deployed
to XPe thin clients. If there is an interest or need for a particular package, HP recommends that you first test the
deployment on a single device or small test group to see if task succeeds and the package is deployed correctly.
Settings and Connections
The changes made to the device in the Settings tasks section were not verified due to resource constraints.
Easy Tools Settings and Configurations
Because HP Easy Tools is not compatible with XPe, no tests were performed to import of Easy Tools settings or connections
and apply to devices.
Summary
Most HPDM 4.5 features work XPe thin clients, but they are not verified by the HPDM Quality Assurance team. The biggest
issues are the SEP firewall on the thin client and imaging. Using this document, you can still use most features (and even
some new features) and successfully manage your HP t5740 thin clients running XPe.
