An Overview of ThinManage Cloning
There are three types of clones you can create with ThinManage – Connections, Thin Client Settings, and Disk Images.
Connections
Thin clients have the ability to connect to remote servers utilizing various types of protocols. The RDP protocol is
used to connect to Microsoft Windows Terminal Servers. The ICA protocol is used to establish connections to
Citrix servers. The VDI protocol, used by the VDM Client, allows a user to connect to a VMware VDM broker.
Administrators can use ThinManage to clone these types of connections from one thin client, store them within the
ThinManage database, and then apply them to other thin client terminals.
Thin Client Settings
Thin client settings are the display, sound, keyboard, mouse, and network configurations for that particular
terminal. Administrators can use ThinManage to clone these settings from one thin client, store them within the
ThinManage database, and then apply them to other thin client terminals.
Disk Images
The third cloning option that ThinManage offers is the ability to clone the entire disk image of a thin client terminal.
A disk image includes everything that currently exists on that terminal, including the operating system itself. Disk
image clones are inventoried and managed by ThinManage, but are physically stored on an NFS share or FTP
server on your local area network.
The next three sections of this chapter will describe how to create and apply clones for the types mentioned above.
