Oliver - I've researched this with printer drivers before - basically, your best bet would be to remaster the XPe image, which you should be able to do with the HP management tools. Short of that, you can disable the write filter long enough to make changes manually, but I don't know how many thin clients you need to do this on.
IIRC though, these devices already have an Altiris management agent on them that may give basic SNMP monitoring capabilities. Short of that, you may want to just passively monitor them using WMI from the Windows Probe. At one point HP was giving away a free cut-down version of Altiris to manage the devices, but they may since have substituted their own tool. This page is a good reference generally though on remastering the images and distributing changes: http://juice.altiris.com/article/3239/managing-and-imaging-hp-thin-clients-running-xpe -- Durf On Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 11:44 AM, Oliver Marshall < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi chaps, > > > > I know I posted this a few days back, but I thought I'd post again just > incase someone has signed up in the last few days with n-able and thin > client know-how. > > > > Basically, I'm trying to figure out how to get the agent package and the > remote support package running on a thin client which has limited ram disk > space and a write flusher installed so that no writes persist a reboot. > Seeing as the Wyse XPe units have VNC installed, my ideal would be to have > the n-able remote support VNC option running but actually using the Wyse > Win-VNC implementation found on the thin clients already. > > > > Olly > > > > > -- -------------- Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day.
