Introduction

Purpose

The HP Compaq 6720t Mobile Thin Client is considered to be the replacement for the pre-merger

M100 Mobile Thin Client offered by Neoware. However, the XPe image for the HP Compaq 6720t

does not contain the EZUpdate agent that resides in the M100 XPe image. The HP recommended

management solution to replace the EZUpdate functionality found in the M100 is Altiris. Included with

your purchase of the 6720t is a license for Altiris Deployment Solution. The local Altiris agent is

already preinstalled in the XPe image for the 6720t, so customers will not be required to install the

agent. Detailed instructions on setting up and using the Altiris Deployment Solution can be found at

the following location.

Audience

This white paper is for use by legacy Neoware customers that are familiar with the EZUpdate

functionality offered in Neoware branded Thin Clients.

Symptoms

HP Compaq 6720t users will not have the ability to perform an FTP Image Update, which is a feature

currently supported by EZUpdate. HP´s recommendation is that customers use PXE via the Altiris

Deployment Solution as a replacement option for image update functionality. Detailed instructions on

setting up and using the Altiris Deployment Solution can be found at the following location:

Detailed Explanation

Architectural differences between the pre-merger Neoware XPe images and the HP XPe images

prevented the inclusion of the EZUpdate software for the HP Compaq 6720t platform. The EZUpdate

software is currently not operable with any HP XPe Thin Client image available to date.

In addition to the architectural limitations, the 6720t inherited a very aggressive product schedule

during the HP/Neoware integration. Therefore, HP decided to leverage the existing architecture of the

HP Compaq t5700 series Thin Client images for the initial launch of the platform. HP is currently

working on an aligned management strategy for both pre-merger Neoware and HP Thin Client

platforms.

Short-term Recovery/Workaround

HP recommends that customers use the PXE functionality offered by Altiris Deployment Solution for all

image update, modification, and replacement functionality on the HP Compaq 6720t platform. If a

PXE-less solution is required, HP recommends that the Altiris BootWorks utility be installed on the thin

clients where Altiris management is required. Altiris BootWorks consists of a hidden partition

containing a bootable, DOS environment for imaging or executing DOS scripts. For installation

instructions on Altiris BootWorks, refer to Appendix A below or directly reference the

Altiris
