Sponsored by Quest KACE, ITNinja.com (formerly AppDeploy.com) is a product agnostic IT-focused community website where IT professionals share information and ask questions about system-deployment related topics.

G

Gold Master

A reference machine used as the basis for image capture. The appliance automates the Gold Master creation process through scripted installations.

K

KACE Boot Environment (KBE)

A boot environment that is a scaled-down version of an operating system for performing various Windows-based tasks on target devices. KBE allows for disk imaging, scripted installations, recovery, file browsing, and inventory collection.

KBE Main Menu

The user interface for the KACE Boot Environment that enables image captures, scripted installation and system image deployments, and device recovery.

K-Image

A file-based format that enables easy editing of computer and server images, eliminating the need to rebuild images.
