Summary HP ThinPro 6.2 adds support for authentication using Active Directory credentials. Optionally, these credentials can be encrypted and stored and then later supplied to remote connections as they start, a process known as single sign-on. In addition, administrators can use their domain credentials to escalate to a local administrator, users can change their domain passwords, and more.

• root/domain/loginAtStart – Default Value: 1 – Description: If set to 1 and the thin client has been added to the domain, the thin client boots to a login screen. Otherwise, it boots to the legacy HP ThinPro shared desktop. • root/domain/allowSmartcard – Default Value: 1 – Description: This key is currently unused. • root/domain/retainUserRegistry – Default Value: 1 – Description: If set to 1, any custom settings changes made by the user (such as the mouse-handedness) are retained between login sessions.

• You cannot perform a domain join using only a profile. A domain join requires a real domain credential to complete the join. Because this credential is not stored in a profile, a domain join cannot be completed using a profile alone. If a device that is not associated with a domain receives a profile that requests a domain join (that is, root/domain/domain is not empty and root/domain/domainJoined is set to 1), the device is treated as if only an association with the domain was requested.
