11 HP Smart Client Services HP Smart Client Services is a set of server-side tools that enable you to configure client profiles that can be distributed to large numbers of thin clients. This function is called Automatic Update. Clients detect an Automatic Update server upon startup and configure themselves accordingly. This simplifies device installation and maintenance.
1. Go to http://www.hp.com/support. 2. Search for the thin client model. HP Smart Client Services can be found under the Software System Management category of the Drivers, Software & Firmware page. Viewing the Automatic Update website 1. On the server desktop, select Start > Control Panel, and then click Administrative Tools. 2. Double-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. 3.
TIP: To verify that the broadcast updates are working, run the Profile Editor and make some changes. Connect the thin client and verify that it has downloaded the new profile. If it has not, see Troubleshooting on page 62. Using the DHCP tag update method On the Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 systems, DHCP tagging enables a client to update. Use this method to update specific clients; however, if you have only one or two clients to update, consider using the manual update method instead.
Using the manual update method Use the manual update method to connect a client to a specific server for an update. Also, use this method if you want to test an update on a single client before pushing the update to many clients, or if you have specific updates to be installed on only one or two clients. NOTE: Be sure you specify the hostname of the manual server in the profile that you are updating to. Otherwise the settings reset to automatic when downloading the profile.
12 Using the Profile Editor HP Smart Client Services contains the Profile Editor, which allows administrators to create client profiles and upload them to the Automatic Update server. The client profile contains connection information, settings, and files that the clients download and use in the self-configuration process.
● Client software versions compatible with your hardware ● Optional client kits that provide additional registry settings To set up the client profile platform: 1. In the Platform pane, under Smart Zero Client versions > OS Build ID, select an OS Build ID. TIP: Be sure to create a different profile for each hardware type. NOTE: If a client kit is installed, the additional registry settings are automatically displayed in the client kit box and the Registry pane. 2.
● 0 (disable) ● 1 (enable) Adding files to a client profile Use the Files link in the Profile Editor to access the Additional Configuration Files pane, which can be used to add configuration files to be automatically installed on the client when the profile is installed.
3. In the Path field, set the path to the following: /usr/local/share/ca-certificates 4. Click Save to finish adding the certificate to the client profile. 5. After installing the client profile, use the Certificate Manager to confirm that the certificate was properly imported. Adding a symbolic link to a client profile 1. In the Additional Configuration Files pane, click Add a file. 2. In the Type drop-down list, select Link. 3.
Setting up printer ports 1. In the Profile Editor, select Registry, and then enable the Show all settings checkbox. 2. Enable printer port mapping for your connection type: ● Citrix—No action is required. ● RDP—Navigate to root > ConnectionType > freerdp. Right-click on the connections folder, select New connection, and then click OK. Set the portMapping registry key to 1 to enable printer port mapping. ● VMware Horizon View—Navigate to root > ConnectionType > view.
13 Troubleshooting This chapter discusses the following topics: ● Troubleshooting network connectivity ● Troubleshooting firmware corruption ● Troubleshooting Citrix password expiration ● Using system diagnostics to troubleshoot Troubleshooting network connectivity 1. Ping the client server by doing the following: a. Click the System Information button on the taskbar, and then click on the Net Tools tab. b. Under Select Tool, select Ping. c.
Reimaging client device firmware 1. Download the image from http://www.hp.com. 2. Unpack the image to the path C:\USBBoot. 3. Format a USB flash drive. 4. Copy all the files from C:\USBBoot to the root of the USB flash drive. 5. Power off the client. 6. Insert the USB flash drive into the client. 7. Power on the client. The client will boot to the USB flash drive. 8. Follow the on-screen instructions to reimage the client. 9.
Uncompressing the system diagnostic files on Windows-based systems 1. Download and install a copy of the Windows version of 7-Zip. NOTE: You may obtain a free copy of 7-Zip for Windows at http://www.7-zip.org/ download.html. 2. Insert the USB flash drive that contains the saved system diagnostic file, and then copy Diagnostic.tgz to the desktop. 3. Right-click Diagnostic.tgz and select 7-zip > Extract files. 4. Open the newly created folder named Diagnostic and repeat step 3 on Diagnostic.tar.
A USB updates When USB updates are enabled (see Customization Center on page 17), you can easily install addons and deploy profiles using a USB flash drive. To perform USB updates: 1. Place the desired files onto a USB flash drive. NOTE: The files can be placed in the root directory or in subfolders. 2. Connect the USB flash drive to the thin client. Updates are detected automatically and displayed in the USB Update dialog, in which you can search and view details about the detected updates. 3.
B BIOS tools There are two kinds of BIOS tools for HP ThinPro: ● BIOS settings tool—Used to retrieve or modify BIOS settings ● BIOS flashing tool—Used to update the BIOS BIOS settings tool The following table describes the syntax for the BIOS settings tool. Syntax Description hptc-bios-cfg –g [options] [filename] Retrieves the current BIOS settings and saves them to the specified file so they can be viewed or modified (CPQSETUP.TXT by default).
C Resizing the flash drive partition When a thin client running HP ThinPro is shipped from the factory, the image flashed on it has a size of 1 GB, regardless of the total size of the flash drive. This makes it easier to customize the image and deploy it to other clients that might have a smaller flash drive. To use the entire space of the flash drive, you have to modify the partition size and expand the file system to take up that additional space. This can be accomplished using the resize-image script.
D Customizing the Smart Zero login screen Customizing the screen background This section describes the common attributes and elements used in customizing the client login screen background. There is one directory per connection type—plus a default style—that specifies the style elements of the connection’s background image and login window style. In a style directory, the file bgConfig.rtf specifies the elements in the desktop's background window. The syntax of the bgConfig.
