Overview

This Administration Guide covers e-DiagTools versions 3.0 and 3.01. It is targeted

at IT/MIS personnel having responsibility for system administration and end-user

support.

The Guide explains how to configure the HP e-DiagTools diagnostics solution in

order to obtain optimal e-support capabilities.

It describes the software tools associated with e-DiagTools. These provide a

structure for control and use of the e-DiagTools core tests on remote PCs.

The Guide describes the remote capabilities of e-DiagTools, with details on how to

execute e-DiagTools on managed PC’s from TopTools Device Manager. It shows

how to configure your remote PCs to produce a Support Ticket and send it via

SMTP-based e-mail to your own help-desk or your Authorized Support Provider.

The remote configuration of e-DiagTools Start-up and Internet options from

TopTools Device Manager requires Device Manager 5.0 or higher on the TopTools

server. In addition it requires TopTools Agent 5.0 or higher on the client PC.

... The Utility

Partition is separate from your standard hard disk partition.

The HP Utility Partition takes up little space (approx. 15 megabytes, a

negligible amount on current multi-gigabyte hard disks) and is transparent

to the user. Therefore it does not hinder or confuse the user during the

normal operation of the PC.

The Utility Partition contains e

,,, HP’s powerful and easily-

accessible hardware diagnostics solution with remote capabilities. HP aims

to bring future enhancements to the Utility Partition by including further HP

diagnostics and utility software.

Carrying out diagnostic actions from the Utility Partition avoids the need to

locate a CD-ROM or floppy disks, or search the Internet, as the required files

are all there on the Utility Partition ready to use. In less than five minutes, e-

DiagTools will thoroughly test your PC hardware (hard disk, motherboard,

video, sound, optical drive, etc.) to help you determine if a problem is

hardware related and to localize it. Finally, e-DiagTools can communicate

the results directly to your help desk or support provider.

For information on the HP Utility Partition, read the “White Paper on the

Utility Partition on HP PCs”. To find this White Paper, open the web site:
