4. Enable the Write Filter.

5. Reboot the Thin Client.

Note

If you use the Enable Desktop Icon to enable the Write Filter, the second
reboot will happen automatically.

Note

By default, the NetXClean utility will purge all but specifically selected profiles
on the system when the Thin Client starts up or when the user logs off. For
information on how to ensure a new profile is not purged by the NetXClean
utility, refer to “NetXClean Utility” on page 48.

Roaming Profiles

Write roaming profiles to the C drive. The profiles must be limited in size and will not be
retained when the Thin Client is restarted.

Note

For roaming profiles to work and be downloaded, there must be sufficient
flash space available. In some cases it may be necessary to remove
software components to free space for roaming profiles.

WinPing Utility

To open the WinPing window (see Figure 30), click Start | Run, type

WinPing

in the text

field and clicking OK. The WinPing window is used to launch the Windows PING (Packet
InterNet Groper) diagnostic utility and view the results from pinging.

WinPing is a diagnostic tool familiar to administrators. It sends an echo request to a
network host. The host parameter is either a valid host name or an IP address. If the host
is operational and on the network, it responds to the echo request. The default is to send 5
echo requests and then stop if no response is detected. WinPing sends one echo request
per second, calculates round trip times and packet loss statistics, and displays a brief
summary upon completion.
