HP ConfigTailor — An Overview

HP ConfigTailor is a software deployment and recovery tool—a

complete solution for helping MIS staff and end-users quickly, easily

and reliably install their corporate operating environment onto HP

Kayak PC Workstations. This new tool is a powerful suite of software

utilities that build upon the unattended setup features incorporated

into Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 to allow simultaneous and unattended

installation of complete operating environments onto multiple PC

workstations.

The HP ConfigTailor CD-ROM is multi-functional—designed to be

useful to all HP Kayak PC Workstation customers:

1Customers with large operations can use HP ConfigTailor to

manage their software installations centrally using a client/server

configuration, allowing MIS staff to:

•Construct a robust network-accessible database server to act as a

storehouse of all required software components.

•Define customized configuration profiles to install relevant

drivers and software applications onto targeted client PC

workstations.

Each client PC Workstation can:

•If authorized, install components from the database in addition to

those pre-selected for them in an installation profile (for HP

ConfigTailor 1.0 only).

•Recover their operating system environment and system

configuration in the event of a system crash.

The following diagram illustrates the client/server software distribution

process using HP ConfigTailor:

Using HP ConfigTailor to centrally manage system configurations

involves two steps: setting up a deployment database on a server (see

“How to Create a Deployment Database” on page 7), and then installing

the required system configuration onto client HP Kayak PC

Workstations (see “Remote Installation from a Deployment Database to

a Client PC workstation” on page 43).
