What does HP Device Manager do? (Select two.)

Question

Options

• AEnables administrators to check on the health of each managed thin client using central console
• BHelps to make HP thin clients into HP zero clients that use the intelligence of the server to drive
• CEnables the customer to support legacy terminal operations
• DProvides a simplified solution for the customer to maintain and distribute thin client images
• EEnables the administrator to store encryption keys and passwords

• E

Explanation

HP Device Manager (HPDM) is a centralized management solution designed specifically for thin client environments, which is why A and D are correct: it provides a central console for monitoring the health and status of managed thin clients (A), and it streamlines the deployment and management of thin client images across the fleet (D).

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is incorrect because converting thin clients to zero clients (diskless devices relying entirely on server intelligence) is not an HPDM function - that describes a different architectural shift, not a management tool feature.
• C is incorrect because supporting legacy terminal operations (like dumb terminals) is outside HPDM's scope; that's a function of terminal emulation software.
• E is incorrect because storing encryption keys and passwords describes a security/key management solution (like a TPM or password vault), not a thin client management platform.

Memory tip: Think of HPDM around two core pillars - "See it" (health monitoring via central console = A) and "Deploy it" (image distribution = D). If a choice describes something a security tool or server architecture would do, it's not HPDM.
