Support service - Altiris Deployment Solution
The Altiris Deployment Solution™ support service is available for
your thin client network. This service provides an easy-to-use,
integrated tool that allows remote management of thin clients
throughout their life cycle, including initial deployment, ongoing
management, and software deployment.
You must install the Altiris Deployment Solution on a Windows NT
4.0 or Windows 2000/2003 Server, or a workstation capable of
logging on as administrator to a domain that provides specified
network services which can access a software repository for your thin
client. The Altiris Deployment Solutions software uses a Preboot
Execution Environment (PXE) session and protocol to reimage or
recover your thin client. PXE upgrade services are built into the
Altiris Deployment Solution.
For additional information about the Altiris Deployment Solution,
refer to the Altiris Web site at:
review the Altiris Deployment Solution User Guide.
Extended Windows XPe features
The operating system of the Microsoft Windows XPe-based thin
client has extended features not found in the standard Microsoft
Windows XP operating system. Controls for extended Windows XPe
features are only available through the Administrator logon account
with the exception of the following:
■
Microsoft Terminal Server Client (Remote Desktop Connection
Manager)
■
Citrix Program Neighborhood
■
If installed, a special-order terminal emulation application

CAUTION: A write filter is used by the thin client for security and
to prevent excessive flash write activity. Changes to the thin client
configuration are lost when the thin client is restarted unless the write filter
cache is disabled or a
-commit
command is issued during the current
boot session. See the write filter topics in
for instructions to disable the cache. Enable the
write filter when you no longer want permanent changes.
