Appendix D: ezUpdate for
Windows XPe Appliances
This appendix explains how to set up ezUpdate for automatic updates to
your Windows XPe-based Neoware appliance software.
ezRemote Manager Rel. 2.4.2 (and later) and Neoware's imple-
mentation of Microsoft Windows XP Embedded (XPe) Rel. 1.2
(and later) contain enhancements that allow for the automatic
server update of appliance software images and appliance software
snap-ins. These enhancements collectively are called "ezUpdate."
Once enabled, ezUpdate can work with your XPe-based thin client
appliances to automatically download software from a server (the
"ezUpdate server") when they are initially installed and powered
on for the first time. In addition, each time the appliance boots, it
checks with the server to see if there is a newer version of software
that should be downloaded.
