Depending upon their configuration, RIPs can make extensive changes to a machine. Before distributing
them to end users, you should test the RIP on a different, non-critical t57x0. Test the RIP to verify that it
performs as expected and that the applications distributed by the RIP run normally. To install the RIP on a
target thin client, copy the RIP to a network share or to the target thin client itself, and then double-click the
RIP. You can also deploy the RIP using Altiris Deployment Server.
