4.Enable the Write Filter.
5.Reboot the Thin Client.
Note
If you use the Enable Desktop Icon to enable the Write Filter, the second reboot will happen automatically.
Note
By default, the NetXClean utility will purge all but specifically selected profiles on the system when the Thin Client starts up or when the user logs off. For information on how to ensure a new profile is not purged by the NetXClean utility, refer to “NetXClean Utility” on page 48.
Roaming Profiles
Write roaming profiles to the C drive. The profiles must be limited in size and will not be retained when the Thin Client is restarted.
Note
For roaming profiles to work and be downloaded, there must be sufficient flash space available. In some cases it may be necessary to remove software components to free space for roaming profiles.
WinPing Utility
To open the WinPing window (see Figure 30), click Start Run, type WinPing in the text field and clicking OK. The WinPing window is used to launch the Windows PING (Packet InterNet Groper) diagnostic utility and view the results from pinging.
WinPing is a diagnostic tool familiar to administrators. It sends an echo request to a network host. The host parameter is either a valid host name or an IP address. If the host is operational and on the network, it responds to the echo request. The default is to send 5 echo requests and then stop if no response is detected. WinPing sends one echo request per second, calculates round trip times and packet loss statistics, and displays a brief summary upon completion.
