Supported images types

Supported images types

You can capture WIM and K-Image from devices with Windows 7 and higher and UEFI image from devices with Window 8 higher. You can also capture DMG images from Mac OS X devices.

Image types

WIM images

•
The WIM image file-based format stores information as files, rather than as sectors. You can add multiple files to a WIM image.
•
WIM images provide faster OS installations.
•
Multicast WIM image deployments enable you to broadcast one image to multiple devices at the same time to reduce network bandwidth if the routers on your network support multicast. The target devices must have the bandwidth for the image.
•
UEFI WIM image deployments larger than 4GB must be provisioned from a network resource, because images larger than 4GB cannot be deployed using a USB flash device.
•
WIM image deployments are hardware independent.

K-Images

•
The K-Image file-based format stores files as sectors, enables easy editing, and uses de-duplication to eliminate the need to rebuild images.
•
K-Images enable you to edit a base image that changes often without having to re-send the entire image or having to recapture or deploy the image.
•
K-Image deployments are hardware independent.

UEFI images

•
You can capture WIM UEFI images and UEFI K-Images.
•
UEFI K-Images larger than 4GB must be provisioned from a network resource, because images larger than 4GB cannot be deployed using a USB flash device.
•
Target devices must be UEFI-compatible and require creating a UEFI partition using the Create UEFI Partitions pre-installation task.

Managing device inventory

Configure and run a network scan
Add network inventory to the appliance
Scan active and non-active devices on the network
Add devices manually
Join devices to a domain
Issue a Wake-on-LAN request
Deploy to devices in the KACE Systems Management Appliance inventory
View device details from a network scan
Apply a KUID to the KACE Agent
Delete devices from Device Inventory
Delete devices from Network Inventory
Unregister devices
About the device action icons
Run device actions
Access remote devices using a VNC session

When a device boots in to the KACE Boot Environment (KBE), the appliance identifies the device by its MAC address, lists the device on the Device Inventory page, and uploads its hardware inventory information to the appliance. The MAC address and other information about the device appear on the list. The appliance lists devices that are on the network, but have not booted in to the appliance on the Network Inventory page.

About adding devices to the appliance Inventory:

•
You can list devices in a comma-separated (CSV) formatted file, and upload the file to the appliance.
•
You can run a Network Scan to detect devices on the network.
•
You can issue a Wake-on-LAN request to power on remote devices.
•
You can enter the MAC address to add devices to a boot action deployment.
•
You can run device actions, which are scripted actions that can be performed on managed devices.
•
You can unregister devices.

Configure and run a network scan

Configure and run a network scan

You can configure a Network Scan, or select and run an existing scan to detect devices that are on the network. Running the scan discovers the configured IP range and creates a Network Inventory item on the appliance for each address in the range. The MAC address and port status can only be detected for devices on the same subnet as the appliance.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Devices to expand the section, then click Network Scans to display the Network Scans page.
2.
Manage the network scan using the following options:
◦
Select Choose Action > New to display the Network Scan Detail page to configure the IP range for the scan. The process scans the configured IP range and creates a Network Inventory item for each address in the range.
◦
Select a scan from the list, then select Choose Action > Run Now.
3.
Click Save.

Add network inventory to the appliance

Add network inventory to the appliance

You can list devices in a comma-separated (CSV) formatted file and upload the CSV file to the appliance to add devices to the appliance. The appliance identifies the devices listed in the file in the order of IP address, MAC address, and host name.

Each line in the CSV file must specify the IP Address, MAC Address (with colons), and Host Name (optional) in a comma-separated format. For example: 192.168.2.44,00:22:5f:51:eb:df,appliance.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Devices, then click Network Inventory to display the Network Scan Inventory page.
2.
Select Choose Action > Upload to display the Upload Network Inventory page.
3.
Click Browse and select the CSV file.
4.
Click Upload Inventory to view the list of devices on the Network Scan Inventory page.
Select Choose Action > Send Wake-on-LAN to power on the devices, then create a boot action. See Create a boot action.
