Pre-Loaded Management Agent for

HP Client Automation Starter Edition
HP Client Automation Standard Edition
HP Client Automation Enterprise Edition
Hewlett-Packard provides pre-loaded with this computer the agent software for HP Client
Automation. This agent enables this computer to become a managed node in established
environments for these solutions.
HP Client Automation Enterprise Edition provides extensive management capabilities
including:

Collect hardware and software inventory across multiple platforms

Prepare an application package and conduct impact analysis prior to distribution
Target individual desktops, workgroups or entire populations of desktops for
deployment and maintenance of software and content according to policies
Provision and manage operating systems, applications and content on distributed
desktop computers from any location
Integrate with HP Software Service Center and other help desk and system
management tools
Leverage a common infrastructure for management of software and content on
virtually any device, any platform and any network for all enterprise users

HP Client Automation Enterprise Edition is highly scalable, policy-based change and

configuration management software that enables administrators to efficiently and reliably
inventory, deploy and maintain software and content across heterogeneous desktop
platforms from a web-based console.
HP Client Automation Standard Edition provides the following configuration
management capabilities for Windows PCs:

Collect hardware and software inventory

Deploy packaged software to groups of devices

Manage Microsoft Operating System security patches

Deploy or update operating system images to groups of devices

The agent is pre-loaded and is ready to be installed onto this computer. By pre-loading
the agent software the amount of time and resources required to add this computer into an
HP Management environment is reduced. Once installed, it can be easily configured to
communicate with the management server to provide the management capabilities listed
above. Before installation, you will need to obtain information from the administrators of
the HP Management infrastructure, including:
Name or address of the HP Management Portal or HP Client Automation Standard
Edition server

The appropriate TCP/IP port numbers to communicate with these servers

Any firewall changes for your computer to allow communication to the server

Ports 3466 and 3463 must be open at the client and all firewalls between the client
and the server.
The HPCA-RMA.msi will install and regsiter the rma. Installing with
the full UI will allow the user to configure the Host name and Port.
To install the msi silently, the standard /qb or /qn command
paramters for the msiexec can be used as follows:
msiexec /i HPCA-RMA.msi /qb HOST_IP=<hostname> HOST_PORT=<host port>
The HOST_IP and HOST_PORT are optional in the command line and
default to hpcaserver and 3466 respectively.
The install requires elevated priveleges - for Vista, Win2008 and
Win7, the install has to be launched with elevated privileges to
avoid the UAc prompt.

RAR version 3.93 - Technical information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE ARCHIVE FORMAT DESCRIBED BELOW IS ONLY VALID FOR

VERSIONS SINCE 1.50
============================================================
==============
RAR archive file format
============================================================
==============
Archive file consists of variable length blocks. The order of these
blocks may vary, but the first block must be a marker block followed by
an archive header block.
Each block begins with the following fields:
HEAD_CRC
2 bytes CRC of total block or block part
HEAD_TYPE
1 byte
Block type
HEAD_FLAGS 2 bytes Block flags
HEAD_SIZE 2 bytes Block size
ADD_SIZE
4 bytes Optional field - added block size
Field ADD_SIZE present only if (HEAD_FLAGS & 0x8000) != 0
Total block size is HEAD_SIZE if (HEAD_FLAGS & 0x8000) == 0
and HEAD_SIZE+ADD_SIZE if the field ADD_SIZE is present - when
(HEAD_FLAGS & 0x8000) != 0.
In each block the followings bits in HEAD_FLAGS have the same meaning:
0x4000 - if set, older RAR versions will ignore the block
and remove it when the archive is updated.
if clear, the block is copied to the new archive
file when the archive is updated;
0x8000 - if set, ADD_SIZE field is present and the full block
size is HEAD_SIZE+ADD_SIZE.
Declared block types:
HEAD_TYPE=0x72
HEAD_TYPE=0x73
HEAD_TYPE=0x74
HEAD_TYPE=0x75
HEAD_TYPE=0x76

marker block
archive header
file header
old style comment header
old style authenticity information

HEAD_TYPE=0x77
HEAD_TYPE=0x78
HEAD_TYPE=0x79
HEAD_TYPE=0x7a

old style subblock

old style recovery record
old style authenticity information
subblock

Comment block is actually used only within other blocks and doesn't
exist separately.
Archive processing is made in the following manner:
1. Read and check marker block
2. Read archive header
3. Read or skip HEAD_SIZE-sizeof(MAIN_HEAD) bytes
4. If end of archive encountered then terminate archive processing,
else read 7 bytes into fields HEAD_CRC, HEAD_TYPE, HEAD_FLAGS,
HEAD_SIZE.
5. Check HEAD_TYPE.
if HEAD_TYPE==0x74
read file header ( first 7 bytes already read )
read or skip HEAD_SIZE-sizeof(FILE_HEAD) bytes
if (HEAD_FLAGS & 0x100)
read or skip HIGH_PACK_SIZE*0x100000000+PACK_SIZE bytes
else
read or skip PACK_SIZE bytes
else
read corresponding HEAD_TYPE block:
read HEAD_SIZE-7 bytes
if (HEAD_FLAGS & 0x8000)
read ADD_SIZE bytes
6. go to 4.

0x100 - HIGH_PACK_SIZE and HIGH_UNP_SIZE fields

are present. These fields are used to archive
only very large files (larger than 2Gb),
for smaller files these fields are absent.

0x200 - FILE_NAME contains both usual and encoded

Unicode name separated by zero. In this case
NAME_SIZE field is equal to the length
of usual name plus encoded Unicode name plus 1.
If this flag is present, but FILE_NAME does not
contain zero bytes, it means that file name
is encoded using UTF-8.
0x400 - the header contains additional 8 bytes
after the file name, which are required to
increase encryption security (so called 'salt').
0x800 - Version flag. It is an old file version,
a version number is appended to file name as ';n'.
0x1000 - Extended time field present.
0x8000 - this bit always is set, so the complete
block size is HEAD_SIZE + PACK_SIZE

Application notes
============================================================
==============

1. To process an SFX archive you need to skip the SFX module searching
for the marker block in the archive. There is no marker block sequence (0x52
0x61 0x72 0x21 0x1a 0x07 0x00) in the SFX module itself.
2. The CRC is calculated using the standard polynomial 0xEDB88320. In
case the size of the CRC is less than 4 bytes, only the low order bytes
are used.
