You can manage the network and mass storage drivers required to build the KACE Boot Environment from the drivers share directory. You can manage the drivers that the operating system requires by enabling the Driver Feed, which downloads and installs drivers to the driver_postinstall directory.
Downloaded drivers are stored in the drivers_postinstall share directory using the following folder structure:
• |
Virtual devices: <OS_name>/<OS_version>/<OS_platform>/any/vmware|hyperv/. For example: /windows/7/x64/any/vmware/. |
• |
Physical devices: <OS_name>/<OS_version>/<OS_platform>/<build_version>|any/<manufacturer>/<system_ID>/. For example: /windows/7/x64/any/dell/049a/. |
Ensure that you set the appliance Samba Share Password on the General Settings page.
• |
You can add device drivers that do not get updated from the Driver Feed to the drivers_postinstall directory. |
• |
You can organize the drivers under the drivers_postinstall directory using the above folder structure. |
• |
Drivers that are included in a single .exe or .msi file require extracting the files before adding the drivers to the folder. |
• |
You can add driver packages that are larger than 1.5 GB to the restore directory. |
NOTE: The Package Management Export feature creates packages for larger driver files that you can import from the restore directory to the appropriate drivers share directory to make the drivers available to the appliance. |
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, go to https://support.quest.com/kb/121734.
For Windows K-Images and WIM images, the Sysprepped field on the System Image Detail page indicates if an image is sysprepped.
