group. If a single computer fails, it will drop out of the session and the session will

z

simultaneous imaging of the Client PCs
z
While the Master PC creates an image on a file server and manages the
simultaneous imaging of the Client PCs
z
While using its own hard disk as the source and sending the contents to Client PCs
HTTP Imaging
When capturing or deploying an image, you have the option of providing a URL as the
path to an image file. This is non-typical interaction, and requires some configuration on
your Web server.
Your Web server needs the following:
z
Unlimited keep alives enabled.
z
Upload access if you want to upload images
In Apache 2, enable unlimited MaxKeepAliveRequests in your httpd.conf file. You also
need to obtain and install mod_put module to enable image uploading.
In IIS, consult your documentation for information on enabling keep alives and uploads.
Basic authentication is supported, Windows digest authentication is not supported. You
might also need to specify a file type of application/octet-stream for your images to
prevent errors.

Post-Imaging Configuration
Because images contain a generic operating system, you will probably want to set up
unique configurations such as operating system license, networking, TCP/IP, and user
account settings on each computer that receives an image. This section briefly describes
the options that are available in the Post-Imaging Configuration wizard page.
Important
To use this feature, you must ensure that the Deployment Agent is installed on the
computer you will create the image from. After a computer has received an image, the
Deployment Agent applies the configurations you set, and reboots the computer so the
changes take effect.
