1 Getting started This guide is for administrators of HP thin clients based on the Windows® 10 IoT Enterprise operating system. It is assumed you are using an operating system image provided by HP and that you will log on to Windows as an administrator when configuring the operating system or using administrative apps as discussed in this guide.
CAUTION: ● 2 The system might become unstable if the free space on the flash drive drops below 10%. Z: (RAM drive)—This is a virtual drive created using RAM. This drive behaves like a physical drive, but it is created at system startup and destroyed at system shutdown. You can configure the size of this drive with HP RAM Disk Manager (see HP RAM Disk Manager on page 12).
2 Write filter Newer HP thin clients are protected by the write filter included with HP Write Manager. For more information, see the administrator guide for HP Write Manager. If HP Write Manager is not on or available for your thin client, see Unified Write Filter on page 16.
3 Configuration IMPORTANT: Be sure to disable the write filter prior to making configuration changes. Then after you have finished making changes, be sure to enable the write filter. Managing user accounts Changing a password To change the password for the currently logged-on account: 1. Select Start, and then select Settings. 2. Select Accounts. 3. Select Sign-in options. 4. Select the Change button under the Password heading, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
profile can either be local (specific to a thin client) or roaming (server-based and accessible from multiple different thin clients). NOTE: Local copies of roaming profiles should be written to the flash drive (C:), which must have sufficient free space for them to work. Roaming profiles are not retained when the system restarts. Changing the account type To change the account type between Administrator and Standard User: 1. Select Start, and then select Settings. 2. Select Accounts. 3.
Installing apps To install an app: 1. Disable the write filter (requires a system restart). 2. Perform the installation. NOTE: If the installation process requires a system restart, you should perform that restart before proceeding to the next step. 3. Enable the write filter (requires a system restart). When installing apps, it might be necessary to temporarily change some environmental variables to point to the flash drive (C:) instead of the RAM drive (Z:).
Security features Availability The following table lists each feature and whether HP supports that feature on the corresponding thin client. Also, the table lists the TPM version used in each device. 1 Feature t520 t620 t628 t630 t730 mt42 mt20 mt43 TPM No 1.2 No 2.01 2.01 1.2 2.01 2.
8 ● DirectAccess—Allows remote access to a corporate network without launching a separate VPN. For more information, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dn168168.aspx. ● BranchCache—Allows a device to cache files, websites, and other content from central servers, ensuring that the content is not repeatedly downloaded across the wide area network (WAN). For more information, see http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831696.aspx.
4 Remote desktop apps Citrix Receiver Citrix® Receiver is used when Citrix Presentation Server, XenApp, or XenDesktop® is deployed with Web Interface. Citrix Receiver enables icons to be placed on the Windows desktop for the seamless integration of published apps. To open Citrix Receiver: ▲ Select Start, and then select Citrix Receiver. Enabling single sign-on for Citrix Receiver 1. Uninstall the Citrix Receiver app that is preinstalled on the thin client. 2.
remotely connect to a powerful workstation and use your graphics-intensive workstation apps wherever you go. Your apps run natively on the remote workstation and take full advantage of its graphics resources. The desktop of the remote workstation is transmitted over a standard network to your local computer using advanced image compression technology specifically designed for digital imagery, text, and high frame rate video apps. Use RGS Receiver to access the remote desktop being transmitted by RGS Sender.
5 Administrative apps NOTE: Some apps might not be preinstalled on some HP thin client image versions. If an app is not preinstalled, see Finding software downloads on page 14. HP Device Manager HP Device Manager (HPDM) provides the capability for centralized, server-based administration of HP thin clients. The client-side component is HPDM Agent. To open HPDM Agent: ▲ In Control Panel, select HPDM Agent. For more information, see the administrator guide for HP Device Manager.
HP Logon Manager To configure the thin client to log on to a specific user account automatically: 1. In Control Panel, select HP Logon Manager. 2. In the Windows Logon Configuration dialog box, check the Enable Autologon box, type the account credentials and domain name, and then select OK. TIP: To log on as a different user or as an administrator when automatic logon is enabled, simply log off the current account to return to the Windows logon screen.
HP Velocity HP Velocity is a quality of service (QoS) system that dramatically improves the user experience for real-time, networked apps by reducing packet loss on IP-based networks used to carry the app traffic. The HP Velocity client-side component is preinstalled on HP thin clients and works in conjunction with a server-side component. For more information, see the administrator guide for HP Velocity.
