This Manual
This manual provides additional guidelines for using the HP Image
Library drivers and utilities.
This manual is intended for MIS (Management Information Services),
IT (Information Technology), or system administrator personnel. A
good knowledge of Microsoft operating systems as well as software
deployment tools is required. You must have administrator privileges.
The HP Image Library is part of the HP PC Image Engineer products
(described on page 4).
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
• For maintenance tasks, for example, using Microsoft SMS to perform
driver updates on remote PCs.
