10.4. Default host profile for all new clients

Each Aptus clients(host) have its host profile which can be backup-ed or copied to other Aptus hosts. A host profile contain all configurations of that host. This host profile contains all the configurations you've done on that client (including printers, hardware and others). You can make use of this host profile mechanism to manage host configurations and eliminate the need of redo any configurations on other hosts which required the same configurations. If you are not familiar with creating an Aptus client, see more information on creating a new Aptus host on Chapter 5. Under host configuration, there is a feature called Manage host profile which allow you to manipulate the host profile. For more information on using Manage host profile, please read the Aptus Configurator help pages.
