Windows® Embedded 8 Standard for HP Thin Clients Quick Reference Guide

The screen for Administrator logon is displayed.
NOTE: The default password for the Administrator account is Administrator. The default user
name and password for the user account is User.
You can use the HP Logon Manager to permanently modify the default login user. This application is
located in the Control Panel and can be accessed only by the Administrator.
Signing out, restarting, and shutting down the thin client
To sign out, restart, or shut down from the thin client:
1. Access the Settings charm and click Power. Choose Shut down or Restart.
2. Sign off by clicking the user account tile in the upper right corner and clicking Sign out.
NOTE: If automatic logon is enabled, when you log off (without shutting down), the thin client
immediately logs on the predefined user account set up in HP Logon Manager. For instructions for
logging on as a different user, see
Logging on on page 7.
The following utilities are affected by restarting or shutting down the thin client:
●
HP Unified Write Filter on page 16
●
System date and time on page 8
Unified write filter
HP WES 8 thin clients include the Unified Write Filter (UWF) to protect the operating system.
For detailed information, see
HP Unified Write Filter on page 16. To save changes to system
configuration settings, you must disable the write filter, make the changes, reenable the write filter,
and then restart the computer. Otherwise, the new settings will be lost when the thin client is shut
down or restarted.
The write filter cache contents are not lost when you log off and on again (as the same or a different
user). You may disable the write filter cache after the new logon and still retain the changes.
Only the administrator has the necessary privileges to disable the write filter.
System date and time
The time service is set to Manual (Trigger Start). By default, the time service attempts to synchronize
its time with the Microsoft time server (time.windows.com) every seven days. If the thin client is joined
to a domain, the service tries to sync its time with an available DC or an NTP server, if one is
available.
To open the system date and time properties:
▲
Open the Control Panel and select Date and Time.
NOTE: The only thing you can change in the modern UI is the time zone.
