installation. This technique eliminates the need to re-create all of the groups or configuration

templates. Right-clicking a group or configuration template provides options to export or import the

groups or templates.

Some restrictions apply when exporting groups and configuration templates. When exporting groups,

the associated policies are not exported.

Templates that have user-defined settings can be exported from HP Web Jetadmin 10.3 SR6 and

later. To import the templates that have user-defined settings on another server, use the following

procedure:

On the original server, export the user-defined settings:

1. Go to Tools > Options > Device Management > Configuration > User Defined.

2. Export the templates that have user-defined settings.

On the new server, import the user-defined settings:

1. Go to Tools > Options > Device Management > Configuration > User Defined.

2. Import the templates that have user-defined settings. Templates or groups are not imported if

another template exists with the same name unless the Overwrite duplicate templates option is

selected.
