HP ThinState
The HP ThinState Capture tool is a very simple wizard-based tool that you can use to capture an HP
thin client WES image, which you can then deploy to another HP thin client of identical model and
hardware.
You need:
●
An HP WES-based thin client that contains the latest HP-provided image.
● An HP-qualified USB flash drive (Disk-On-Key). Consult the thin client quick specs for the latest
approved USB flash drives.
CAUTION: By default, the First Boot Device in the F10 System BIOS is first set to USB, then ATA
Flash, and finally to Network boot. If the default boot order settings have been changed, it is critical
that you set the First Boot Device in the Advanced BIOS Features section of the F10 System BIOS to
USB before using the HP ThinState Capture tool.
NOTE: HP ThinState Capture now uses ibrpe.exe for imaging. Any flash drives created containing
ibr.exe can no longer be used.
HP ThinState Capture
To perform an HP ThinState capture:
1. Disable the write filter prior to launching the ThinState Capture tool.
2. At the Welcome screen, click Next and follow the onscreen instructions.
You can use the USB flash drive to deploy the captured image to another HP thin client of the exact
same model and hardware.
HP ThinState Deploy
To perform an HP ThinState deployment:
1. Set the boot order in the F10 System BIOS to USB boot.
2. Attach the USB flash drive to the thin client unit you wish to deploy the captured image to, and
then power on the unit.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions.
