User manual SONY VAIO VGN-FS650F HARD DISK DRIVE REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

[. . . ] While several options exist, SONY recommends that the Altiris BootWorks utility be installed on the thin clients where Altiris management is required and PXE services be disabled on the Altiris deployment servers. Altiris BootWorks consists of a hidden partition containing a bootable, DOS environment for imaging or executing DOS scripts. This alleviates Altiris' dependency on PXE service to help deliver thin client manageability, and produce a more stable and reliable solution. Other options considered may further limit functionality of one or both manageability solutions. [. . . ] For more information, refer to the Altiris Deployment Solution 5. 6 Product Guide.

When the Rapport server has been configured to use PXE, the Altiris Deployment Solution PXE services should not be installed. The Altiris BootWorks partition should supersede PXE on clients managed by the Altiris server. The Rapport Server must be configured to use PXE. Rapport 3. 02 is automatically configured to use PXE. No options exist for deselecting PXE during installation or for disabling during operation. If the Altiris Deployment Solution is already installed, the PXE service must be disabled. The following sections provide steps for both Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003 Server families and Microsoft Windows NT 4. 0 Server.
