This paper explains the function of the Registry Import/Export feature for HP Compaq
t5000 thin clients.
CE .NET HP Image Refresh 4.21 includes the Registry Import/Export tool, an HP
engineered software technology that makes it significantly easier and more cost efficient
for IT professionals to manage HP thin clients. Registry Import/Export allows thin client
devices to inherent properties of other thin client devices.
IMPORTANT: Your source and target machine must have the same image with the same
quantity of software add-ons. These software add-ons must be of the same revision. The
Registry Import/Export Tool cannot upgrade or downgrade application versions.
Extracting the settings of one device and re-deploying the same settings to other devices
reduces network congestion. Registry settings can be 100 to 10,000 times smaller than
the entire image.
NOTE: The Import/Export process may take approximately two minutes to complete.
To export a registry from one thin client and import to another, perform the steps in the
following sections.
Before importing a new registry to a thin client, you must make sure that the destination
machine has a clear registry. To clear the registry, drag and drop CE_RegReset from
the Job window to the Destination Computer.
NOTE: This process will take two to three minutes to complete.
