HP Client Management Solutions

Configuration and Deployment

HP computers come with a preinstalled system software image.
The initial software image is configured during the first-time
setup of the computer. After a brief software “unbundling”
occurs, the computer is ready to be used.

A customized software image can be deployed (distributed) by

■ Installing additional software applications after unbundling

the preinstalled software image.

■ Using software deployment tools, such as Altiris Deployment

Solutions, to replace the preinstalled software with a
customized software image.

■ Using a disk cloning process to copy the contents from one

hard drive to another.

The deployment method you should use depends on your
organization’s technology environment and processes. Visit
the HP Web site at
information on selecting the best deployment method for your
organization.
