Altiris Deployment Solution™ from Symantec User’s Guide 159
Prerequisite: To store images locally on the managed computer’s hard drive, you
must have a hidden automation partition installed on the managed computer's hard
disk with the required disk space to hold the images you want to store.
Caution
When imaging computers where images are stored on the managed computer’s
hidden automation partition, use the option to remove the automation partition only
when you want to clear all images from the computer.
7. Select Prepare using Sysprep to use Sysprep to prepare the system for imaging.
8. From the Operating System drop-down list, select the operating system or Add
new to open the OS Product Key dialog and select the OS Information.
9. Click Advanced Settings. This opens the Sysprep advanced settings dialog. See
Advanced Sysprep settings for creating a disk image on page 161.
10. (Optional) Select the Do not boot to Production option to create an image of the
hard disk while booted to Automation without first booting to Windows to save
network settings (TCP/IP settings, SID, computer name, and so on). If you select
this option, these network settings are not reapplied to the computer after the
imaging task, resulting in network conflicts when the computer starts.
11. From the Automation pre-boot environment (DOS/WinPE/Linux) drop-down
list, select the required pre-boot environment to perform the Create Disk Image
task in the selected pre-boot environment. By default, the Default Automation
(Auto-select) type is selected.
Note
ImageX requires a WinPE x86 pre-boot environment.
12. (Optional) To select Media Spanning and additional options, click Advanced. See
Create disk image advanced on page 162.
13. Click OK (if you are using the New Job Wizard) or click Next.
14. (Optional) Set Return Codes. See Setting up return codes on page 193.
15. Click Finish. The task appears in the Task list for the job. The disk image is created
when you run this task.
Tip
If an imaging job fails on a managed computer, the Deployment Agent
Configuration page appears on the client computer. This page displays a prompt to
confirm whether the user wants to configure the client computer or restore the
original settings. On the client computer’s screen, select Cancel > Restore
Original Settings.
