Deleting an image resource or personality resource
You must remove the image resource or personality resource to completely delete
an image reference. These steps also apply to backup images and PCT personalities.
To delete all image references from the database, you need to delete the image
package first.
See “Deleting an image package” on page 54.

The Resource Manager displays some of the details of the image that you
selected. The path to the image file is not listed.

The resource link is deleted from the database, but the actual image file is

Creating and deploying an image
For Windows, the images that are deployed to multiple computers are prepared
using Microsoft Sysprep to remove drivers, the security ID (SID), and other
computer-specific settings. Sysprep also disables the built-in administrator account
and clears the administrator password. You can also use the Prepare for Image
Capture task on Linux to remove all configuration-specific settings.
See “About Sysprep imaging” on page 32.
Before you perform this process, you must prepare the reference computer that
you want to image.
See “About images” on page 52.
See “About deployment tasks and jobs” on page 39.
