Overview

This document describes the release of HP Device Manager 4.7 Service Pack 13.

HP Device Manager (HPDM) is an enterprise-class application for managing and administrating thin client devices on largeand small-scale networks. The system consists of five major components:

• HPDM Console—The graphical application used by administrators to access the management system.

• HPDM Server—The central server which consolidates and controls all management activities.

• HPDM Gateway—The gateway that serves as the link between HPDM Agent on each thin client and HPDM Server.

• HPDM Agent—Client-side software required for managing devices.

• HPDM Master Repository Controller—The component that manages the content in the Master Repository and

synchronizes that content to other repositories as requested by HPDM Server.

• HPDM Embedded HTTPS Server—The component that provides the ability to set up an HPDM repository using the

HTTPS protocol.

For more detailed instructions on how to use HP Device Manager, see the HP Device Manager Administrator Guide.

http://dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com would fail

• Fixed an issue in which HPDM Console was delayed in reading device IP changes

• Fixed an issue where the default gateway value would be changed to 0.0.0.0 after capturing image when the Windows 10

Known issues

• After upgrading the HPDM Console on HP Device Manager server, the HPDM Console will fail to launch with and error

“Failed to create/update rmiclient.jks. Please use “Run as Administrator” to start the HPDM Console. To rectify this issue, Right Click on the “HP Device Manager Console” desktop shortcut and select “Run as Administrator”. This operation is required only once. This issue will be rectified in a future release.

• After upgrading the HPDM Console on a remote workstation, the console connection will fail with a “Certificate Error”. To

rectify the issue, copy the file “rmiclient.jks” from “..\HP\HP Device Manager\Server\bin” folder on the HPDM Server to the to the folder “..\HP\HP Device Manager\Console\lib” on the console workstation. This issue will be rectified in a future release.

• Tasks can continue waiting for devices queued to 30 minutes or later via the batch control. To work around the issue,

cancel the task and resend it to all failed devices, or restart the server service.

• If the name of a rule is the same as a template, their payload will be placed in the same folder in the repository. Any

change in the payload of this rule or template will affect the operation of the other. This issue can be avoided by naming rules and templates with different patterns.

• Failure to capture or deploy files via the HTTPS protocol on ThinPro 5.x. Due to security concerns, HP Device Manager will

automatically disable support for TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 connections to the HPDM HTTPS repository. In order to capture or deploy files over HTTPS on ThinPro 5.x, please modify the configuration of HPDM HTTPS repository to enable TLSv1.0 support.

• The image file cannot be imported successfully by HTTPS protocol when the file size is greater than free space size of the

volume that HPDM Embedded HTTPS Server installed and the repository locates on another volume that has enough free space.

• Capture Image does not support resume upload. Capture Image may fail due to customer network stability issues FTPS

transfer does not support TLS session resumption on data connection. If you are using FTP servers which support it, please disable this option. For example, FileZilla Server -> General settings -> FTP over TLS settings -> “Require TLS session resumption on data connection when using PROT …” SHOULD NOT be checked.

• The task of enabling UWF returns a fake success when UWF module isn’t installed on device side. If the original WF status

is disabled, the HPWF will be enabled. If the original WF status is HPWF enabled, this task won’t change the WF status.
