collections every five hours. The Data Collection Template can also be applied through group policy
settings applied to devices as they are populated within a device group.
Templates save administrators time. A complex set of device configuration parameters can be created
and then re-deployed on a schedule, without requiring the administrator to continually reset
parameters. Configuration templates leverage configuration settings from an existing device, by
selecting the device in the Configuration area.
Cloning device settings using templates
Figure 5, at right, shows a device
configuration template being created for
an existing device. All settings intended
for the template must be selected for the
device. Once the template is created,
settings can be deployed to single
devices or cloned to batches of devices
by dragging-and-dropping, right-clicking,
scheduling, group policies, and more.
Templates can also be exported from one
HP Web Jetadmin instance and then
either stored or imported onto the same
or a different HP Web Jetadmin instance.
To find Export and Import configuration
templates, right-click Device
Management, then select Overview,
Configuration, Templates in the navigation tree. Templates can be imported only when they have
been exported from the same revision of HP Web Jetadmin.
HP WEB JETADMIN TASK
SCHEDULING
Many HP Web Jetadmin features can be
applied as scheduled tasks through a robust
scheduler. Figure 6, at right, shows the
scheduler interface for HP Web Jetadmin
Discovery. Here, we have enabled a
recurring schedule to start discoveries only
between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 9:00
p.m. every three weeks on Mondays. If
other tasks are running during this time
period, the scheduler does not start the
Best practices
Templates can be created from scratch or copied from an existing single device configuration.
By selecting one or more models from a device list and using the Configuration tab to create
templates, you can create composite template settings based on model selection. This ensures
that configuration items stored in the template are only those supported by these devices.
When “cloning” by using single select, right-click the configuration item header to select or
deselect all controls within a configuration category such as Security or Device. This speeds up
template creation.
