This paper provides instructions to create and deploy RapidInstall Packages (RIPs) using Altiris Deployment

Solution for HP Compaq t57x0 thin clients.

Introduction

A RapidInstall Package is a single executable file that installs software, files, or registry changes. A RIP

allows the administrator to install software without the end user seeing any prompts or experiencing any

disruption. A RIP is normally created using the following steps:

1. Take a virtual snapshot of the system as a baseline.

2. Make changes to the system.

3. Take another virtual snapshot after changes are made.

4. Apply the difference into the RIP executable.

A RIP is created using either the RIP Creation Wizard or the editor. The steps for creating and deploying

RIPs on HP Compaq t57x0 thin clients are essentially the same as for a PC, except that disabling and

enabling the write filter requires additional steps.

IMPORTANT: You must update any RIPs that were created with an older version of Altiris Deployment

Solution. For example, if you are running Altiris Deployment Solution 6.0 or 6.5, you must update RIPs

created on Deployment Solution 5.0. For more information, see the “Updating an Old RapidInstall

Package” white paper.

Disable the write filter

Prior to creating or deploying a RIP, make sure the write filter is disabled on the thin clients. If the write

filter is not disabled, all changes made to the system will be discarded at the next reboot. This could

cause problems during deployment as well, as some changes to the system may be discarded during the

installation.

NOTE: You must log on as Administrator to disable the write filter.

To disable the write filter, run the ewfmgr c: -disable command locally, and then reboot. If you are

using the Enhanced Write Filter GUI, disable the write filter by clicking Disable, and then reboot.

Building RIPs using the RIP Creation Wizard

The easiest way to set a baseline and build a RIP is with the RIP Creation Wizard. The Wizard guides you

through the following tasks:

•Setting a baseline

•Selecting and using an existing baseline

•Making desired changes to the baseline computer

•Building the RIP

Setting a baseline

To set a baseline on the client’s unit:

1. Ensure that the HP Compaq t57x0 thin client is a baseline system, in which configuration changes or

software programs you want to distribute are not already present on the thin client. To disable the

write filter on the t57x0, run the disable command ewfmgr c: -disable, and then reboot. If you

are using the Enhanced Write Filter GUI, disable the write filter by clicking the Disable button, and

then reboot.

NOTE: You must log on as Administrator to disable the write filter.

2. Start the RIP Creation Wizard:

NOTE: When prompted for a username and password, type the username and password for the

Deployment Server.

a. Click Start > Run.

b. Type: \\

%DSconsole%

\express\rinstall\RapidInstall.exe (%DSconsole% is the

name assigned to the Altiris server for DSConsole).

3. Click Create RIP.

4. Click Set baseline before creating RIP, and then click Next.

5. Enter a directory, name and description for the baseline. By default, the system saves RIP files to

C:\Program files\altiris\express\deployment server\rinstall.

6. Click Next.

RapidInstall scans the PC and creates a baseline file. Think of this file as a “before” snapshot of the thin

client’s hard drive and registry configuration. Make desired changes to the computer. Once you have a

baseline file, you can make any software changes to the t57x0. You can use a baseline repeatedly, but

any changes to the baseline will go into the RIP.

NOTE: You can close the RIP Creation Wizard while you make your changes. When you restart the

Wizard, it will resume where it left off.

Building a RIP

To build a RIP:

1. After you have made changes to the HP Compaq t57x0 thin clients, if it is not already running, restart

the RIP Creation Wizard. If a baseline has not been previously saved, the following options display:

•CreateRIP

• Proceed to Editor

• Browse for a RapidInstall Package (RIP)

• Edit a recent RapidInstall Package (RIP)

2. Enter a directory, name and description for the RIP.

3. To customize file replacement behavior, run options, passwords, or install visuals, click RIP Options.

4. Select desired options.

5. Click Next to build the RIP. RapidInstall builds the RIP by comparing the changes you made to the

thin client against the baseline you set earlier.

6. If you want to make more changes to the RIP, select Edit RIP, and then click Finish.

7. If you are satisfied with the RIP, clear the Edit RIP check box, and then click Finish.

Depending upon their configuration, RIPs can make extensive changes to a machine. Before distributing

them to end users, you should test the RIP on a different, non-critical t57x0. Test the RIP to verify that it

performs as expected and that the applications distributed by the RIP run normally. To install the RIP on a

target thin client, copy the RIP to a network share or to the target thin client itself, and then double-click the

RIP. You can also deploy the RIP using Altiris Deployment Server.

Deploying a RIP using Deployment Server

Distribute software packages to managed computers using the New Job Wizard or by adding the

Distribute Software task when building new jobs. The following steps show how to create an event that

will handle the write filter correctly during an RIP installation.

1. Right-click in the Job window of the Deployment console and select New Job.

2. Type a name for the job, usually the name of the RIP being deployed.

3. In the upper right corner of the Job window, select Add > Run Script.

4. Type ewfmgr c: -disable in the Run this Script window, and then select the button indicating the

script must be run in Windows.

5. Click Finish.

6. In the upper right corner of the Job window, select Add > Power Control.

7. Select the Restart and Force Applications to close without a message.

8. Click Finish.

9. In the upper right corner of the Job window, select Add > Distribute Software.

10. In the Name field, type the name and location of the package to distribute.

NOTE: If you set the password option when you created the RIP, you must type the password for the

package to run.

11. In the upper right corner of the Job window, select Add > Power Control.

12. Select Restart and Force Applications closed.

13. Click OK.

14. In the upper right corner of the Job window, select Add > Run Script.

15. In the script window, type ewfmgr c: -enable.

16. Select the box indicating the script must be run in Windows.

17. Click Finish.

18. In the upper right corner of the Job window, select Add > Power Control.

19. Select Restart and Force Applications closed without a message.

20. Click Finish. You can schedule the job at a later time or run it immediately.
