Preparing for deployment

Set up the deployment environment
Enable the on-board DHCP server
Configure the offboard DHCP server
Download and install the KACE Media Manager
Download and install Windows ADK
Upload files using the KACE Media Manager
Upload files from shared directory

Choosing the type of deployment
Supported images types

Appliance deployments require that you have 20 percent disk space. You can download and install the tools required to build the boot environment, upload the operating system installation source media, and enable the appliance to connect to target devices.

Set up the deployment environment

Set up the deployment environment

You can set up your appliance network connection between the target devices to PXE boot from the target devices to the appliance, download the required tools to build your KACE Boot Environment (KBE), and load the source media and user profiles to the appliance.

1.
Set up an administrator device.
2.
Create a network connection between the target devices and the appliance using a DHCP server to direct PXE boot requests from the target device to the appliance. See Enable the on-board DHCP server.
a.
Use the built-in appliance DHCP server if there is no existing DHCP server on your network, and if you are using the appliance in a closed lab environment.
b.
Use your existing DHCP server if the appliance is on a corporate network.
3.
Download the Media Manager. See Download and install the KACE Media Manager.
a.
Download and install the Windows ADK required to create a KACE Boot Environment using the Media Manager. See Download and install Windows ADK.
b.
Upload the OS source media to the Media Manager. See Upload files using the KACE Media Manager.
4.
Capture user profiles from a device, upload the profiles to the appliance to migrate the profiles to target devices. See Upload USMT software from the appliance.
Prepare and capture the image from the device. See Capture system images.

Enable the on-board DHCP server

Enable the on-board DHCP server

If you are testing the appliance on a private network or in a small environment that does not have a DHCP server, the appliance can act as the DHCP server by enabling this option on the appliance.

Ensure that there is the only one DHCP server on the network, and that you configure the router to forward the DHCP requests to the appliance.
1.
On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click Network Settings to display the Network Settings page.
2.
Select the Enable On-Board DHCP Server check box.
The DHCP range fields appear.
3.
In DHCP Pool Start, enter the lowest IP address in the range.
4.
In DHCP Pool End, enter the highest IP address in the range.
5.
Click Save.

DHCP is enabled.

Configure the offboard DHCP server

Configure the offboard DHCP server

When you turn on a device for the first time, you can select the NIC or Network Boot option from the BIOS boot menu. Windows deployments require target devices to boot from somewhere other than the local drive. When you select the NIC or Network Boot option, the device sends an PXE request to the DHCP server to locate the iPXE server. In this case, the appliance is the PXE server. You can configure an offboard DHCP server to acknowledge the appliance to enable target devices to UEFI boot from the appliance.

The steps might vary depending on which DHCP server you are using. Use the following settings for options 066 and 067 on any DHCP server.

If you are not using the Microsoft DHCP, see the following Knowledge Base article for additional information: https://support.quest.com/kace-systems-deployment-appliance/kb/112037

1.
Open the configuration application for your DHCP server.
2.
Set the following options for each subnet or scope that you want target devices to be able to boot from the appliance:
◦
Set Option 066 to the IP address of the appliance.

This option might appear as Next-Server, Boot Server Host Name or TFTP server name.

* 
NOTE: You might not be able to set Option 66 on some Cisco networking equipment. As an alternate configuration, you can set the sname and 244 options to the appliance IP address.
◦
Set Option 067 to the string ipxe.efi (for UEFI devices), and undionly.kpxe (for BIOS devices).

This option might also appear as Boot File Name. Copy and paste the ipxe.efi or undionly.kpxe string as the Boot File Name option.

* 
NOTE: You can only have one PXE or TFTP server on a subnet. Disable other imaging tools on the subnets where you want to test the appliance.

The DHCP server automatically redirects PXE-compliant Windows devices to the appliance the next time the devices start up while connected to the network. The devices download the bootstrap file, and use the environment setup to boot.
