IT Problem
You need to log onto windows embedded on your terminal as an administrator. I had to do this on a hp terminal recently and it was a pain to dig it out of the manual…
IT Solution
Administrator Logon Access
To access Administrator logon regardless of the state of the thin client user mode:
1. Click Start.
2. While holding down the left Shift key, click Log Off.
3. Still holding down the left Shift key, click Log Off in the confirmation window.
The screen for Administrator logon is displayed.
NOTE: The default password for the Administrator account is Administrator. The default user name
and password for the User account is User.
You can use the HP Windows Logon Manager to permanently modify the default login user. Located in
the Control PanelControl Panel is part of Windows Operating Systems. It allows the user access to many “applets” that allow the user to setup and configure various parts of the operating system. These applets are grouped into different sections such as “System and Security” and “Hardware and Sound”. Sometimes 3rd part applets are installed into the control panel. Most of these applets can be run by going to “run” and entering the app.cpl. Cpl is the extension to control panel applets. Here are examples or control panel applets. Accessibility Options access.cpl Add or Remove Programs appwiz.cpl Display Properties desk.cpl Windows Firewall firewall.cpl Add Hardware hdwwiz.cpl Internet Options inetcpl.cpl Regional & Language Options intl.cpl Java Control Panel javacpl.cpl Game Controllers joy.cpl Mouse Properties main.cpl Sound & Audio Device Settings mmsys.cpl Network Connections ncpa.cpl Wireless Network Setup Wizard netsetup.cpl User Accounts nusrmgr.cpl ODBC Data Source Administrator odbccp32.cpl Power Options powercfg.cpl System Properties sysdm.cpl Phone and Modem Options telephon.cpl Time and Date Options timedate.cpl Windows Security Center wscui.cpl Automatic UpdatesAutomatic Updates is a service offered by Microsoft to update Microsoft products with the latest patches, features and security updates. In earlier OS`s the system was web based only, you went to the update website such as www.windowsupdate.com and the site scanned your system for required patches. Windows 2000 sp3 and Xp used Background Intelligent Transfer Service to update without any user input, In later OS`s the pc or server polls the update server ( be it either a local WSUS Server or Microsoft’s update server ) to see if there are any updates to the operating system or applications running on the system. If so it will download and install them. The system is fully configurable, you can specify dates it will poll the server for updates, whether it will notify of updates and wait for you to run them or it can be set to fully automated and download, configure and install them all automatically. In Windows 7 and Vista, when the system has update it will initiate a countdown until it automatically reboots and completes the update process. You can catch this countdown and extend it if required.
