4.2.6 Taking Snapshots for Mass Deployment
A snapshot is the system image of a client, allowing you to use that image for mass deployment. This system image
can be stored on a remote management computer or a locally attached USB ash drive.
NOTE
• To store the system image on a remote computer, ensure that ViewSonic Device
Manager has been installed on that computer, and that the client has been added
into a managed group under ViewSonic Device Manager.
• When taking a snapshot, all system specic information, including the Computer
Security Identier (SID) and computer name, will be reset or removed from the
system image by performing the System Preparation (Sysprep) tool automatically.
NOTE
• Taking a snapshot will reset the startup behavior to the default (auto-login with the
default standard user account). For details, please refer to “About the Behavior of
System Startup” on page 13.
To take a snapshot from a client, please do the following:
1. On ViewSonic Client Setup, click System > Snapshot.
2. Under the Snapshot section, click the drop-down menu to select where to store the snapshot. Two options
are available: Network and USB.
• To store the snapshot le set on the remote computer, please select Network.
• To store the snapshot le set on the locally attached USB ash drive, please select USB.
