HP ThinPro 5.1 - Administrator Guide

12 Using the Profile Editor
HP Smart Client Services contains the Profile Editor, which allows administrators to create client
profiles and upload them to the Automatic Update server.
TIP: In addition to creating a new client profile, you can edit an existing profile that was exported
using HP ThinState.
An HP ThinPro profile contains the connections, settings, and customizations that were configured
using the Connection Manager and various Control Panel utilities. A profile is saved in a configuration
file that is specific to the version of HP ThinPro in which it was created.
