Windows Embedded Standard 7 for HP Thin Clients - Administrator Guide

HP ThinState
HP ThinState can be used to capture an HP thin client image that can then be deployed to another
HP thin client of identical model and hardware.
To perform an HP ThinState capture:
1. On the thin client you are capturing the image from, make sure the first boot device in the BIOS
is set to USB.
2. Disable the write filter.
3. Insert a USB flash drive that is greater in size than the onboard flash drive.
4. In the Control Panel, click HP ThinState Capture.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions.
6. The HP ThinState Capture tool opens a blue screen. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Use the USB flash drive to deploy the captured image to another HP thin client of the exact same
model and hardware.
NOTE: With HP ThinState Capture, you might be able to capture the image from a larger flash and
deploy it to a smaller flash, depending on the size of the captured image.
To perform an HP ThinState deployment:
1. On the thin client you are deploying the image to, make sure the first boot device in the BIOS is
set to USB.
2. Insert the USB flash drive that contains the captured image, and then restart the computer.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
After you remove the USB flash drive and cycle power to the system, the image will unbundle. Do not
interrupt or cycle power to the unit during this process.
HP Velocity
HP Velocity is a quality of service (QoS) system that dramatically improves the user experience for
real-time, networked applications by reducing packet loss on IP-based networks used to carry the
application traffic. The HP Velocity client-side component is preinstalled on HP thin clients and works
in conjunction with a server-side component.
TIP: For more information, go to http://www.hp.com/go/velocity and see the HP Velocity
documentation.
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) helps maintain corporate compliance and
control while enabling users to use the devices and applications they need. It provides key
management capabilities for application delivery, desktop virtualization, device management, and
security, which makes it possible to enable productivity amidst device proliferation.
TIP: For more information, see the white paper Managing HP Thin Clients with SCCM 2012 SP1 .
