Supported network operating systems
|
Microsoft Windows XP Professional (with SP 2 and above), Server 2003, Windows Vista Business Edition and Enterprise Edition (Windows 2000 Professional with SP 4 is supported as a Smart Client client). Print management features are supported with Microsoft Windows XP Professional (with SP 2 and above), Server 2003, and Windows 2000 Professional and Server.

|

|
Shared print queue creation support
|
Windows XP Professional, Server, or Advanced Server
|
Network peripheral management supported printers
|
HP Web Jetadmin 10.0 supports HP and non-HP printers connected through HP Jetdirect print servers and standard printer MIB-compliant third-party network connected printers. The capabilities available for third-party printers will vary from basic to more robust capabilities when the devices are used with HP-certified HP Web Jetadmin 10.0 plug-ins.
|
Supported network protocols
|
IPv4
|
Software update and migration
|
HP Web Jetadmin 7.8, 8.0, and 8.1 are supported with either update or migration path installation to HP Web Jetadmin 10.0. (Operating systems and host requirements for software update are the same as those required for new installation. Operating systems and host requirements for software migration are the same as those required for new installation and have Windows 2000 Professional and Server as additional supported platforms.)
|
Database support
|
SQL Server 2005 Express included in application installation (requires SP 2 when installed on Windows Vista)
|
File system type
|
NTFS (no FAT support)
|
Virtual Machine
|
|
NOTE: For a VMWare server, the virtual machine network must be set to bridged to facilitate HP Web Jetadmin 10.0 communications.
When VMWARE HP Web Jetadmin 10.0 host is running NAT mode, the remote Smart Client will not connect to the HP Web Jetadmin 10.0 host, alerts are not received, and configuring devices prompts the user for V1 credentials when no credentials are set on the device.
Any feature that responds back to the host requires this configuration.
|
|
Host access requirements
|
Application host: local administrator required for installation or application upgrade; Client host: local user access required for ClickOnce client application; Administrator required for .NET installation
|
System requirements: Server
|
PC with 1.0 GHz or higher processor (2.4 GHz recommended), 1 GB RAM, 2 GB available disk space (minimum recommended, will vary depending on data migrated from older HP Web Jetadmin and data storage needs required by device data collections), .NET 2.0 or higher (if not detected the software will provide assistance for steps to install .NET 2.0).
|
NOTE: If both server and client will be run from the same machine or if the server will be run from a virtual machine, the minimum requirement should be increased to improve response times from the HP Web Jetadmin server. |
|
System requirements: Client
|
PC with 1.0 GHz or higher processor (2.4 GHz recommended), 1 GB RAM, .NET 2.0 or higher (if not detected the software will provide assistance for steps to install .NET 2.0), 1024 by 768 client display resolution (minimum). Optimized for Normal font size.
