Introduction
Purpose
The HP Compaq 6720t Mobile Thin Client is considered to be the replacement for the pre-merger
M100 Mobile Thin Client offered by Neoware. However, the XPe image for the HP Compaq 6720t
does not contain the EZUpdate agent that resides in the M100 XPe image. The HP recommended
management solution to replace the EZUpdate functionality found in the M100 is Altiris. Included with
your purchase of the 6720t is a license for Altiris Deployment Solution. The local Altiris agent is
already preinstalled in the XPe image for the 6720t, so customers will not be required to install the
agent. Detailed instructions on setting up and using the Altiris Deployment Solution can be found at
the following location.
Audience
This white paper is for use by legacy Neoware customers that are familiar with the EZUpdate
functionality offered in Neoware branded Thin Clients.
