Microsoft® Windows Embedded Standard (WES) 2009 for HP Thin Clients Quick Reference Guide

Session Services

The network to which the thin client is connected requires any of the following session services:

●

Citrix ICA

●

Microsoft RDP

●

Terminal emulation support

Citrix ICA

You can make Citrix Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) available on the network using

Presentation Server and/or XenApp for Microsoft Windows 2000/2003/2008 Server family.

Microsoft RDP

The Terminal Services Client application on the thin client accesses Microsoft Terminal Services. You

can make Microsoft RDP available on the network using any of the following services:

●

Microsoft Windows 2000/2003/2008 Server with Terminal Services installed

●

Microsoft Windows Server 2000/2003/2008

NOTE: If a Windows 2000/2003/2008 Server is used for both of these session services (ICA and

RDP), a Terminal Services Client Access Licenses (TSCAL) server must also reside somewhere on the

network. Client Access licenses permit clients to use the terminal, file, print, and other network services

provided by Windows 2000/2003/2008 Server. The server grants temporary licenses (on an

individual device basis) that are good for 90 days. Beyond that, you must purchase TSCALs and install

them in the TSCAL server. You cannot make a connection without a temporary or permanent license.

For additional information about Microsoft Terminal Services, see the Microsoft Web site at

Terminal Emulation Support

All WES 2009-based thin client models include TeemTalk terminal emulation software to support

computing on legacy platforms. The terminal emulation software uses the Telnet protocol to

communicate with the computing platform.

Thin Client Management Services

HP has a comprehensive suite of management solutions to fit your needs. This allows you to choose

solutions that will work best in your environment.

HP ThinState Capture

HP ThinState Capture allows you to clone and deploy a software image from one thin client to another

thin client of the same model, using a USB drive key.
