Capturing an HP ThinPro image to a USB ash drive
To capture an HP ThinPro image to USB ash drive:
IMPORTANT: Back up any data on the USB ash drive before you begin. HP ThinState automatically formats
the ash drive to create a bootable USB ash drive. This process will erase all data currently on the ash
drive.
1. Select Management > ThinState in Control Panel.
2. Select the HP ThinPro image, and then select Next.
3. Select make a copy of the HP ThinPro image, and then select Next.
4. Select create a bootable USB ash drive, and then select Next.
The thin client restarts and then prompts you to enter a USB ash drive.
5. Insert a USB ash drive into a USB port on the thin client.
6. Select the USB ash drive, and then select Finish.
A new window displays the progress. If a problem occurs, select Details for information. The desktop
reappears after the capture is complete.
Deploying an HP ThinPro image with a USB ash drive
To deploy an HP ThinPro image with a USB ash drive:
IMPORTANT: If you abort a deployment, the previous image will not be restored and the contents of the thin
client's ash drive will be corrupted. In this state, the thin client must be reimaged using a USB ash drive.
1. Turn o the target thin client.
2. Insert the USB ash drive.
3. Turn on the thin client.
NOTE: The screen remains black for 10-15 seconds while the thin client detects and boots from the USB
ash drive. If the thin client fails to boot from the USB ash drive, try unplugging all other USB devices and
repeat the procedure.
Managing a client prole
A client prole contains the connections, settings, and customizations that you congured using Connection
Manager and Control Panel. A prole is saved in a conguration le that is specic to the version of HP
ThinPro in which it was created.
NOTE: A client prole can also be precongured and deployed using Prole Editor and Automatic Update
(see Prole Editor on page 60 and HP Smart Client Services on page 56 for more information).
Saving a client prole to an FTP server
To save a client prole to an FTP server:
IMPORTANT: The directory on the FTP server where you intend to save the prole must already exist before
initiating the save.
1. Select Management > ThinState in Control Panel.
2. Select the HP ThinPro conguration, and then select Next.
