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

7 Administration and image upgrades
This section highlights and discusses the remote administration capabilities and firmware upgrade
methods applicable to HP thin clients.
HP Device Manager
HP Device Manager (HPDM) is a server-based application that provides centralized administration
capabilities for HP thin client devices. It accesses the thin client through the HPDM Agent that is
embedded in the standard thin client WES image to enable HPDM to manage devices out-of-the-box
(HPDM Agents on older devices, however, may need to be upgraded).
NOTE: HP Device Manager on WES8 has limited functionality. Check for an update for full
functionality on WES 8.
For additional information concerning HPDM, please check the HP support site for these applications
or for other important updates or documentation:
http://www.hp.com/support. Select the country/
region from the map, then select Product Support & Troubleshooting or Drivers & Software. Type
HP Device Manager in the field and click SEARCH.
HP ThinState Capture and Deploy
The HP ThinState Capture tool is a very simple wizard-based tool that can be used to capture an HP
thin client WES image, which can then be deployed to another HP thin client of identical model and
hardware. For more information about the HP ThinState Capture tool, see
HP ThinState on page 14.
HP add-ons
If you want to install an add-on module, you can use HPDM to manage the thin client or go to
http://www.hp.com/support. Disable/enable the write filter as needed to save the changes.
