Copying Registry Settings

You can copy and transfer the registry settings from one thin client to another. Also known as "ARP",
this feature allows you to configure a thin client and then transfer that configuration to multiple other thin
clients. To clone an entire thin client image, you must first update the image, and then transfer the registry
files.
You can transfer registry settings on only "like-to-like" clients, meaning that the thin client you transfer
to must have the same of the following list as the thin client you transfer from.

To transfer registry settings to one thin client:
NOTE: You can use Altiris or FTP to transfer registry settings to multiple thin clients.

2. In Control Panel > System > General tab, in the Terminal Settings section, click Export.
3. Navigate to where you want to save the settings file. You can save the file to the hard drive, a
network drive, a USB drive key, etc. After you give the file and name and click OK to save the file,
it can take up to five minutes for the file to save.
4. After exporting the registry settings file, from the thin client to update, go to Control Panel >
System > General tab, and in the Terminal Settings section, click Import.
5. Navigate to where you exported the settings file, select the file, and then click OK. You must restart
the client for the new settings to take effect.
