Although the enhanced Write Filter manager can be run from a thin client, it is more
efficient to include it as part of your Deployment Job.
Microsoft Windows CE .NET is designed for a broad range of intelligent hardware devices
that require a small-sized operating system, and usually run disconnected from other
computers. Window CE .NET can run on multiple processors, supports Win32 Application
Program Interface (API), and runs in Realtime right out of the box. Application
developers can choose from a wide range of modules and components, creating small
image footprints booting the basic image from 350KB.
Deployment Solution lets you mange thin clients running Windows CE .NET from a
centralized location, but the Deployment Agent for Windows CE .NET must be installed
on each device. Many of the thin clients supported by Deployment Solution come pre-
installed with the Deployment Agent and can be managed after they are connected to
the network. However, due to limitations of the Deployment Console, you cannot push
the Deployment Agent for CE .NET to thin clients running the Windows CE .NET
operating system. Rather, you must run the Deployment Agent installation from the thin
client directly.
HP and Fujitsu-Siemens distribute their own proprietary versions of Linux for thin clients
supported by Altiris. Contact the manufacturer for more information.
Fujitsu-Siemens thin clients do not require a license, but Neoware thin clients must
purchase a standard license. See
Some HP thin-client models do not require you to purchase licenses of Deployment
Solution while others do. Contact your HP representative to get a list of the models in
each category.
