To export a registry, perform the following steps:
1. Open the Deployment Server Console.
2. Select CE_RegExport from the Job window and drag and drop
the Job to the source unit under the Computers window. This will
copy the source computer's registry and prepare it to be imported.
3. Select CE_RegImport from the Job window and drag and drop
the job to the destination computer under the Computers window.
This will import the settings from the source computer to the
destination computer.
NOTE: This process will take two to three minutes to complete.
A single registry can be imported to multiple units. To import a
registry to multiple units, perform the following steps:
1. Select CE_RegExport from the Job window and drag and drop
the Job to the source unit under the Computers window. This will
copy the source computer's registry and prepare it to be imported.
2. Select CE_RegImport from the Job window and drag and drop
the job to "All Computers" under the Computers window. This
will import the settings from the source computer to the entire
network.
While it is possible to export registries from multiple thin clients, it is
important to ensure the registry files have different names. The export
process uses a time stamp and saves the time stamp as part of the
name for the saved file (for example, 051304840.reg, which is May
30, 2004 at 8:40). If you export multiple units at the same time, the
registry file names will be identical. It is recommended that you
capture each registry a minute apart in order to create distinct file
names for each registry.
