files to the C drive on the local system). If you must write to a local drive, change the application settings to use the Z drive. The default configuration settings mentioned in “User Log-on Accounts” on page 52 minimize writing to the C drive for factory-installed applications.

Note

For descriptions of the Write Filter and the need to flush the cache to permanently save configuration data, refer to “Write Filter” on page 41.

Mapping Network Drives

You can map network drives while logged on as either an administrator or a user. To keep the mappings after the Thin Client is restarted you must complete the following procedures:

1.Select the Reconnect at logon check box.

2.Flush the Write Filter cache during the current system session.

Since a user log-on cannot flush the Write Filter cache, the mappings can be retained by logging off the user (do not shut down or restart the system) and logging back on as an administrator, and then flushing the cache.

A remote home directory can also be assigned by using a user manager utility or by other means known to administrators.

Domain Participation

You can participate in domains by joining to a domain or by using roaming profiles.

Joining a Domain

As an administrator you can join a Thin Client to a domain through the Computer Name Changes dialog box. To open the Computer Name Changes dialog box, click Control Panel System Computer Name Change.

Caution

Exercise caution when joining a domain as the profile downloaded at log-on could overflow the cache or flash memory.

When joining a domain, the Write Filter should be disabled so that the domain information can be permanently stored on the Thin Client. The Write Filter should remain disabled through the next boot as information is written to the Thin Client on the boot after joining the domain. This is especially important when joining an Active Directory domain. For instructions on disabling and enabling the Write Filter, refer to “Write Filter” on page 41.

To make the domain changes permanent, complete the following steps:

1.Disable the Write Filter.

2.Join the domain.

3.Reboot the Thin Client.
