ThinState Capture and Deploy

5-2
The Intel Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) is a protocol that
defines interaction between TCP/IP, DHCP and TFTP to enable a
client to download a preboot environment from a server. PXE allows
a client to boot from a server on a network prior to booting the
embedded operating system or the operating system from the local
flash module. PXE allows a network administrator to remotely wake
up a thin client and perform various management tasks, including
loading the operating system and other software onto the thin client
from a server over the network. The PXE client is installed on the thin
client and the PXE server component is part of the Altiris
Deployment Solution suite.
Citrix ICA auto update does not function for the ICA client installed
on the thin client; updates are implemented through the standard
firmware upgrade process.
The HP ThinState Capture tool is a very simple wizard based tool that
can be used to capture an HP thin client XP Embedded image, which
can then be deployed to another HP thin client of identical model and
hardware. For more information about the ThinState Capture tool, see
Chapter 4, in section "ThinState Capture."
