HP ThinPro 7.0 - Administrator Guide

11 Prole Editor
HP Smart Client Services contains Prole Editor, which allows administrators to create client proles and
upload them to the Automatic Update server.
TIP: In addition to creating a new client prole, you can edit an existing prole that was exported using HP
ThinState.
A client prole contains the connections, settings, and customizations that were congured using Connection

version of HP ThinPro in which it was created.
