server.
i.  ezupdate root directory
ii. Directory of items you  
want to deploy to your 
ThinPro devices
•Custom: shell scripts based 
updates (.sh)
•Image: full HP ThinPro image 
created by ThinState (.dd.gz)
•Packages: one or more HP 
ThinPro packages
•PersistentProfile: temporary thin 
state profile or templates (.xml)
•StatelessProfile: tem porary thin 
state profile or template to be 
installed on every boot where 
no data is stored on the thin 
client flash (.xml)
Note that multiple updates are possible in 
the same ezUpdate tree (Image + Packages 
+ Profile).
  Enable ezUpdate utility by either:
a. DHCP Tag 137 
(recommended method)
Recommendation: Once the ftp server 
is set up and the required updates 
are in place (.dd.gz, package, or 
.xml profiles), we recommend you 
set up your DHCP server to provide 
ezUpdate server information with Tag 
137. This provides you full advantage 
of automatic ezUpdate deployment at 
boot up on your HP ThinPro device.
