Enable Driver Feed for system images

Enable Driver Feed for system images

Enable the Driver Feed for sysprepped system images to get the missing drivers. You can install the drivers on the device where you captured the image, re-capture the image, then upload the image to the appliance. Quest KACE recommends using the best practices for capturing images to avoid installing drivers in system images.

Use the Microsoft Sysprep tool to generalize the image to resolve duplicate device names and duplicate security identifiers (SIDs).

For more information on the best practices for capturing images, see https://support.quest.com/kace-systems-deployment-appliance/kb/121734.

For Windows K-Images and WIM images, the Sysprepped field on the System Image Detail page indicates if an image is sysprepped.
