1 Getting started This guide is for administrators of HP thin clients based on the HP ThinPro operating system and assumes that you will log in to the system as an administrator when modifying system configurations or using administrative tools as described in this guide. NOTE: HP ThinPro has two possible OS configurations: ThinPro and Smart Zero. HP ThinPro-based thin clients can be purchased with either OS configuration as the default, and you can switch between OS configurations via Control Panel.
Choosing an OS configuration HP ThinPro includes two OS configurations, each tailored for a different thin client deployment scenario: ● ● The ThinPro OS configuration is the complete version of the operating system and is the most suitable for multipurpose environments that require advanced administration or end-user customization.
Choosing a remote management service Regardless of the OS configuration, there are two different remote management services that you can use to manage HP ThinPro-based thin clients: ● HP Device Manager (HPDM) is ideal for large environments with a variety of operating systems, including a mixture of HP ThinPro-based and Windows®-based thin clients. HPDM provides a greater variety of management options than HP Smart Client Services. For more information or to download HPDM, go to http://www.hp.com/go/hpdm.
2 ThinPro PC Converter Starting with ThinPro 7.1, ThinPro can be used on hardware other than HP Thin Clients by using HP ThinPro PC Converter Deployment Tool. The system must meet these minimum requirements: ● CPU: Any 64-bit x86 CPU. ● Memory: 2GB of memory, with at least 1GB free for operating system use. ● Storage: 2GB or more of internal storage for installation. ● Graphics: Intel, ATI/AMD, or Nvidia. If the graphics card is not recognized, limited-performance VESA mode can be used.
NOTE: The installation button will only appear with a USB flash drive created with the Installer Flash Drive option of the Deployment Tool. The Bootable Flash Drive option does not allow installation. When installing ThinPro onto the PC, you have the option of saving the settings that were configured while running ThinPro from the USB flash drive. If the settings are not saved, the default factory image of ThinPro will be installed.
Hovering over the systray icon gives information about active licenses found on the system. A right-click will launch the System Info app with the License tab selected. Notifications Notifications might pop up above the system tray icon periodically. Courtesy notifications warn when a support license or a trial license is approaching expiration. You can disable courtesy notifications through certain registry settings. See Registry keys on page 79 for more information.
3 GUI overview Desktop NOTE: The following image demonstrates the desktop for ThinPro with a U.S. locale setting. For Smart Zero, the taskbar is vertical and right-aligned by default, and the desktop theme varies by connection type. The display format of some taskbar information varies by locale setting. Item (1) Description Desktop In ThinPro, you can arrange connection shortcuts in the desktop area and customize the background theme.
Taskbar NOTE: The following image demonstrates the taskbar for ThinPro with a U.S. locale setting. For Smart Zero, the taskbar is vertical and right-aligned by default. The display format of some taskbar information varies by locale setting. Item Description (1) Start Displays a main menu. For more information, see Start menu on page 43. (2) Application area Displays the icons for the currently open applications.
4 Connection configuration Desktop connection management Connection management can be done directly from the desktop as well as through the legacy Connection Manager (see Connection Manager (ThinPro only) on page 10) or the Start menu. By default, the desktop displays an icon as a shortcut for each configured connection. When you first start the computer, several sample connection icons are displayed on the desktop.
Connection Manager (ThinPro only) NOTE: HP recommends using the connection shortcuts. However, you can use the legacy Connection Manager interface. The following image demonstrates Connection Manager with a U.S. locale setting. Item Description (1) Connection list Lists the configured connections and whether each connection is active or inactive. (2) Start Starts the selected connection. (3) Stop Stops the selected connection. (4) Edit Lets you edit the selected connection.
NOTE: These settings affect the connection you are currently configuring only. Option Description Fallback Connection Specifies the fallback connection. If the connection fails to start, the fallback connection will attempt to start instead. NOTE: type. This option is not available for the VMware Horizon View connection Auto start priority Determines the order that connections will auto-start. 0 means auto-start is disabled.
TIP: The remote host can be configured to start resources automatically upon login, making the kiosk mode experience seamless. The easiest way to configure a thin client for kiosk mode is to switch it to Smart Zero (see Customization Center on page 61) and configure a connection. When this is done, the following settings are set automatically: ● The taskbar auto-hides. ● The connection auto-starts. ● The connection auto-reconnects.

Capture Allows the capture and replay of X11 output from a session. Advanced NOTE: See Advanced connection settings on page 10 for information about the settings available under the Advanced category when editing a connection.
MMR also uses an advanced codec detection scheme that identifies whether the thin client supports the codec being requested by the remote host before attempting to redirect it. The result is that only supported codecs will be redirected and all unsupported codecs fall back to server-side rendering. TIP: For simplified management, HP recommends that MMR be enabled or disabled on the remote host.
Registry entry Value to set Description root/USB/root/holdProtocolStatic 1 Makes sure that the USBR type will not be automatically changed when a connection is set or unset root/USB/root/protocol local Makes sure that the RDP connection does not attempt to redirect any devices to the remote session To completely disable local mounting of USB mass storage devices or to disable the redirection of USB mass storage devices but still allow other devices to redirect, in the thin client file system, delet
RDP smart card redirection By default, smart cards will be redirected using high-level redirection, allowing them to be used to log in to the session and other remote applications. To enable smart card login for an RDP connection: ▲ Select Use predefined smart card in the RDP Connection Manager. This will allow the user to connect without first specifying credentials. The RDP client will start the RDP session, and the user will be prompted to authenticate by smart card.
Option Description Enable MMR Enables multimedia redirection for BLAST and PCoIP connections. NOTE: HP recommends disabling this option. For connections made with RDP protocol, use the Enable Multimedia Redirection option. See RDP Options on page 29. Enable USB auto-connect when inserted Enable USB device redirection when a USB device is inserted. Enable USB auto-connect at startup Enable USB device redirection when a VMware View connection starts.
Option Description This option is a security feature designed so that a user does not need to take an additional step to fully log out after they are finished with their desktop session. This option is enabled by default for security purposes but can be disabled if users find that they are often switching to a new desktop pool after logging out of a session and do not want to fully log in again. Hide top Menu bar Makes the top menu bar invisible for users. This option enabled by default.

6 HP True Graphics HP True Graphics offloads rich multimedia content to the thin client’s GPU, delivering high-frame-rate images and boosting efficiency. Server-side requirements See the following table for a list of supported server-side products of the independent software vendor (ISV) you are using for your virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). ISV Supported products Citrix® XenApp®/XenDesktop® 7.0 or newer IMPORTANT: The Citrix server must support sending session data in H.
NOTE: Some screen data, such as text, might be sent using methods other than H.264.
Tips & best practices Consider the following when using HP True Graphics: ● After connecting to a remote desktop, you can use Citrix HDX Monitor to determine which encoder is being used for the session by examining the Component_Encoder value under the Graphics - Thinwire Advanced section. If the value reads DeepCompressionV2Encoder or DeepCompressionEncoder, then the server is properly sending the data in a format that is accelerated by HP True Graphics.
7 Active Directory integration By using Active Directory integration, you can force users to log in to the thin client using domain credentials. Optionally, those credentials can be encrypted and stored and then later supplied to remote connections as they start, which is a process known as single sign-on. NOTE: Enabling authentication requires no special domain permissions. There are two modes in which Active Directory integration can operate.
● Show who is logged in to the system ● Lock the screen ● Change the domain password Screen lock The screen can be locked due to inactivity timeout or through manual locking. If the screen was locked by a domain user, the unlock dialog expects the user to provide the same domain password they used to log in. Like the login dialog, there are options provided, plus one additional function: screen unlock.
8 Start menu ▲ To open the Start menu, select Start . Connection management The menu lists all the available connections. Right-click the connection name to manage that connection or select it to start the connection. If the connection is running, selecting it stops the connection. For more information on connection management, see Desktop connection management on page 9. Switch to Administrator/Switch to User This option allows you to switch between administrator mode and user mode.
Menu option Description Initial Setup Wizard Starts the Initial Setup Wizard. Compatibility Check Runs the ThinPro Compatibility Check tool, which assesses the system's suitability for running ThinPro. Power These options allow you to log out, shut down the computer, restart the computer, or enable the Sleep state. An administrator can restrict the options visible to a user using the Power Manager tool. See System on page 45.

NOTE: You can also search for a specific Control Panel function using the Start menu search box. NOTE: All Control Panel items are accessible in administrator mode. In user mode, only Control Panel items that are enabled by the administrator for use by users are accessible.
● Wireless network settings ● DNS settings ● IPSec rules ● Configuring VPN settings Wired network settings The following table describes the options available in the Wired tab of the Network Manager. Option Description Enable IPv6 Enables IPv6. IPv4 is used by default, and they cannot be used at the same time. Ethernet Speed Lets you set the Ethernet Speed. If your switch or hub does not have a special requirement, leave this at the default setting of Automatic.
Option Description Scan AP Scans for available wireless networks. SSID Use this box to manually enter the SSID of the wireless network if it is not found by the scan. Wireless Band Select Auto, 2.4GHz, or 5GHz. SSID Hidden Enable this option if the SSID of the wireless network is set to be hidden (not broadcasting). Enable IPv6 Enables IPv6. IPv4 is used by default, and they cannot be used at the same time. Enable Power Management Enables the power management feature for the wireless adapter.
Option Description NOTE: IPv6 Method HP ThinPro tries to obtain an IPv6 global address via route advertisement or DHCPv6. Lets you select between Automatic and Static. If your network environment is using DHCP, then the Automatic option should work without any further configurations. If Static is selected, the Static Address Configuration settings are displayed, and you must enter the IPv6 settings. Use the Security tab to configure the connection security settings.
IPSec rules Use this tab to add, edit, and delete IPSec rules. An IPSec rule should be the same for each system that uses IPSec to communicate. When configuring an IPSec rule, use the General tab to set the rule’s information, addresses, and authentication method. The Source Address is the IP address of the thin client, and the Destination Address is the IP address of the system that the thin client is going to communicate with. NOTE: Only the PSK and Certificate authentication types are supported.
TIP: The drop-down list allows you to filter which DHCP tags are displayed. To direct the thin client to request or ignore specific DHCP options: ▲ Select or deselect the check boxes in the Requested column. If a pencil is shown in the DHCP Code column, the code number can be changed in case there is a conflict on your DHCP server over a particular code number. To change a DHCP code: ▲ Double-click the DHCP code and type a new number.
1. In the Component Manager, select Revert Last Change. 2. Select Yes to restart the thin client. Repeat this process for as many changes you want to undo. IMPORTANT: If you take a snapshot of the image while testing a new configuration, you cannot undo the changes via the Component Manager. Those changes can be undone only by restoring a previous snapshot via the Snapshots tool.
CAUTION: Disabling the root and/or user accounts might leave your system in an unusable state unless Active Directory authentication is enabled. For example, if the root account is disabled, you will only be able to change to administrator mode using domain credentials of an administrator. However, disabling the local accounts might improve security when Active Directory authentication is enabled because you no longer have to maintain and update a shared secret such as the thin client’s root password.
Certificates NOTE: For more information about using certificates in Linux, go to https://www.openssl.org/docs/. Certificate Manager To open Certificate Manager: ▲ Select Security and then select Certificates in Control Panel. Use Certificate Manager to manually install a certificate from a certificate authority (CA). This action copies the certificate to the user’s local certificate store (/usr/local/share/ca-certificates) and configures OpenSSL to use the certificate for connection verification.
Menu option Description HPDM Agent Lets you configure the HP Device Manager (HPDM) Agent. For more information, see the Administrator Guide for HPDM. SSHD Manager Enables access through a secure shell. ThinState HP ThinState lets you make a copy of or restore the entire operating system image or just its configuration settings. For more information, see HP ThinState on page 55. VNC Shadow Lets you configure VNC Shadowing options. For more information, see VNC Shadowing on page 58.
Options tab Option Description Enable single sign-on If enabled, a password supplied at login is encrypted and saved on the system. When a connection starts with SSO credentials configured, it can decrypt the password and pass it to the connection so that it can be used for remote login. Domain login group If enabled, login is restricted to users in the listed domain group.
Deploying an HP ThinPro image using FTP or HTTP IMPORTANT: If you stop a deployment before it is finished, the previous image is not restored and the contents of the USB flash drive of the thin client will be corrupted.

5. Select the model of and driver for the printer, and then select Forward. NOTE: If you are unsure of the printer model or which driver to use, or if the model of your printer is not listed, select Back and try using the Generic (recommended) option for the make of the printer. If using the Generic (recommended) make, be sure to select text-only (recommended) for the model and Generic text-only printer [en] (recommended) for the driver. 6.
NOTE: When switching from ThinPro to Smart Zero, if you have configured a single connection, that connection is used automatically as the Smart Zero connection. If you have configured multiple connections, you are prompted to select the connection to use. Before switching to Smart Zero mode, the domain authentication function on the thin client should be disabled. Domain authentication and Smart Zero mode are incompatible. The following table describes the rest of the options available on the Desktop page.
10 System Information In the Start menu, select System Information to view system, network, and software information. The following table describes the information that is displayed on each panel. Panel Description General Displays information about the BIOS, operating system, CPU, and memory. Network Displays information about the network interface, gateway, and DNS settings.
11 HP Smart Client Services HP Smart Client Services is a set of server-side tools that enable you to configure client profiles that can be distributed to large numbers of thin clients. This function is called Automatic Update. HP ThinPro detects an Automatic Update server upon startup and configures settings accordingly. This simplifies device installation and maintenance.
Viewing the Automatic Update website 1. On the server desktop, select Start > Control Panel, and then select Administrative Tools. 2. Double-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. 3. In the left pane of the IIS Manager, expand the following items: “Server name” > Sites > HP Automatic Update > auto-update NOTE: The physical location where the Automatic Update files are stored is as follows: C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\HP Smart Client Service\auto-update Creating an Automatic Update profile
5. Select the Finish button in the Current profile pane to exit Profile Editor. 6. Restart the thin client that uses the specified MAC address to initiate the Automatic Update process. Updating thin clients Using the broadcast update method To do a broadcast update, plug the thin client into the same network as the update server. A broadcast update relies on HP Smart Client Services, which works with IIS to automatically push updates to the thin client.
Using the DNS alias update method During system startup, Automatic Update attempts to resolve the DNS alias auto-update. If that host name resolves, it attempts to check for updates at http://auto-update:18287. This update method enables thin clients to access a single update server across the entire domain, thus simplifying management for deployments with many subnets and DHCP servers.
12 Profile Editor HP Smart Client Services contains 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. A client profile contains the connections, settings, and customizations that were configured using Connection Manager and various Control Panel items.
NOTE: If a client kit is installed, it is displayed automatically in the Client Kits box, and additional registry settings will be available on the Registry screen. 2. Set the configuration to either standard (ThinPro) or zero (Smart Zero). NOTE: For older image versions, this setting is greyed out and set to zero automatically. Configuring a default connection for a client profile To configure a default connection for a client profile: 1.
NOTE: Typically, setting the owner and group as root and the permissions as 644 is satisfactory. If a special owner, group, or permissions are required, refer to standard Unix® file permissions for guidelines on changing the file details. 5. Select Save to finish adding the configuration file to the client profile. NOTE: A file installed as part of a profile will automatically overwrite any existing file on the file system at the destination path.
Serial or parallel printer configuration You can use Profile Editor to set up the serial or parallel printer ports. A USB printer automatically maps when plugged in. Obtaining the printer settings Before configuring printer ports, obtain the printer's settings. If available, check the printer's documentation before going further. If it is not available, follow these steps: 1. For most printers, press and hold the Feed button while turning the device on. 2. After a few seconds, release the Feed button.
NOTE: The port you need is in the section of ports labeled TS###, where ### is a number between 000–009, 033–044. The appropriate port depends on your hostname and the printer you want to install. For example, with a hostname of ZTAHENAKOS and a serial printer, select the port with (ZTAHENAKOS:COM1). For a parallel printer, select (ZTAHENAKOS:LPT1). The TS### is assigned by the server, so it will not be the same every time. 6. Select the manufacturer and driver for your printer.
13 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting network connectivity 1. Ping a server by completing the following steps: a. Select the System Information button on the taskbar, and then select the Net Tools tab. b. Under Select Tool, select Ping. c. In the Target Host box, enter the server address, and then select Start Process. If the ping is successful, the system displays the following output: PING 10.30.8.52 (10.30.8.52) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.30.8.52:icmp_seq-1 ttl=64 time=0.
TIP: You can change the Debug level setting in the System Logs tab of the System Information window to specify the amount of information to be included in the diagnostic report. This information may be requested by HP for troubleshooting. Because the system resets log files when it reboots, be sure to capture logs before a reboot. For the most useful logs, set the level to capture a high level of detail before reproducing the problem and creating a diagnostic report. Saving system diagnostic data 1.
Viewing files in the /var/log folder The useful file in the /var/log folder is Xorg.0.log. Viewing files in the /etc folder The /etc folder contains the file system at the time the system diagnostics were run.
A USB updates When USB updates are enabled (see Customization Center on page 61), you can use a USB flash drive to simultaneously install multiple add-ons and certificates, as well as deploy a profile. To perform USB updates: 1. Place the desired files onto a USB flash drive. NOTE: The files can be placed in the root directory or in subfolders. 2. Connect the USB flash drive to the thin client.
B BIOS tools (desktop thin clients only) There are two kinds of BIOS tools for HP ThinPro: ● BIOS settings tool: Used to retrieve or modify BIOS settings ● BIOS flashing tool: Used to update the BIOS These tools can be run via an X terminal. BIOS settings tool The following table describes the syntax for the BIOS settings tool. NOTE: Changes do not take effect until the next reboot.
C Resizing the flash drive partition IMPORTANT: HP thin clients that ship from the factory with HP ThinPro use the entire flash drive. The image capture methods capture the smallest possible image, allowing images from larger flash drives to be deployed onto smaller flash drives that have enough space for the captured image. Resizing the flash drive partition should no longer be necessary for HP thin clients that ship from the factory with HP ThinPro.
D Registry keys The HP ThinPro registry keys are grouped into folders and can be modified in several different ways: ● Using a _File and Registry task in HPDM. ● Using the Registry Editor component of Profile Editor and then deploying the new profile. ● Using Registry Editor in the HP ThinPro user interface, which is available in the Tools menu in administrator mode. Each top-level section in this appendix corresponds to one of the top-level registry folders.
Registry key Description root/Audio/RecordScale Sets the volume scale for the microphone jack, ranging from 1 to 400. root/Audio/RecordScaleAuto If set to 1, the RecordScale value will be set automatically based on the thin client model. root/Audio/RecordVolume Sets the volume for the microphone jack, ranging from 1 to 100. root/Audio/VisibleInSystray If set to 1, a speaker icon is visible in the system tray.
ConnectionType custom Registry key Description root/ConnectionType/custom/authorizations/ user/add If set to 1, an end user has permission to add a new connection of this type using Connection Manager.
