What Is the Image Library?
The Image Library is a set of drivers and utilities that are packaged so that you can:
•Perform automatic installations on local PCs
•Update a server to perform remote installations using your own deployment or maintenance solution or Microsoft SMS 2.0.
These drivers and utilities are available on the Image Library & Diagnostics CD-ROM provided with HP PCs (described on page 4), or on the HP support web site www.hp.com/go/support.
The Image Library can be useful during much of the PC’s lifecycle, for instance:
•During creation, evaluation and qualification of a disk image
