Assign tasks to scripted installation deployment

Assign tasks to scripted installation deployment

You can configure the steps that the appliance takes to run a scripted installation deployment. Pre-installation tasks run before the operating system setup starts and mid-level tasks run after the operating system is deployed. Post-installation tasks run after the operating system reboots and the target devices are logged in for the first time.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Deployments, then click Scripted Installations to display the Scripted Installations page.
2.
Select the scripted installation to view the Scripted Installation Detail page.
3.
If you want to add any tasks specified in a task group, click Choose a task group, select a desired task group, and click Apply.
◦
Only those task groups associated with the OS of the selected system image appear in the list. For example, if you selected a Windows system image, the list displays the task groups that can be applied to Windows systems.
◦
You can add multiple task groups to a system image, scripted installation, or custom deployment.
◦
Tasks associated with task groups are always added to their respective deployment stages in a system image, scripted installation, or custom deployment. For example, when you add a task group, the pre-installation tasks from that task group will appear under Run Pre-installation Tasks.
◦
The order of tasks associated with the task groups that you add to a system image, scripted installation, or custom deployment reflect the order in which these task groups are added: the tasks added to the first task group appear at the top of the list, followed by the tasks associated with the task group that is added after the first one, and so on.
4.
If you want to delete all tasks previously added to the scripted installation deployment, including any tasks associated with task groups, under Installation Plan, click Clear All Tasks.
5.
Under Installation Plan, add the tasks in the order that you want the tasks to run.
To add a task to the installation plan, drag and drop it to the left column, click the plus sign, or double-click the task in the right column, as desired.
Available tasks are sorted alphabetically in each list on the right. If there are more than six available tasks in a list, expand the drawer to see the entire list, or scroll up or down, as needed.
a.
Add tasks from the Available Pre-installation Tasks column to the Run Pre-installation Tasks column.
* 
NOTE: If you choose to erase the drive contents, ensure that the Format C task follows the Create Single Partition task.
b.
Add tasks from the Available Mid-Level Tasks column to the Run Mid-Level Tasks column.
c.
Add tasks from the Available Post-installation Tasks column to the Run Post-installation Tasks column.
* 
TIP: Filters are available for each task type. For example, to look for a specific pre-installation task, in the Available Pre-Installation Tasks column, in the Filter Pre-Installation Tasks field, type the task name.
* 
TIP: To remove a task from the installation plan, drag and drop it to the right column, click the minus sign, or double-click the task in the left column.
* 
TIP: To remove all tasks from a column, click the button in the column header, on the right. For example, to remove all assigned pre-installation tasks, in the Run Pre-Installation Tasks column, in the column header bar, click Remove all Pre-Installation Tasks.

Assign tasks to custom deployment

Assign tasks to custom deployment

You can configure the steps that the appliance takes to run a custom deployment. Pre-installation tasks run before the operating system setup starts and mid-level tasks run after the operating system is deployed. Post-installation tasks run after the operating system reboots and the target devices are logged in for the first time.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Deployments, then click Custom Deployments to display the Custom Deployments page.
2.
On the Custom Deployments page, click a custom deployment name to display the Custom Deployment Detail page for the selected item.

Edit deployment tasks

Edit deployment tasks

You can edit tasks associated with system image or scripted installation deployments. Each task represents a step that the appliance takes to run a system image or scripted installation deployment. Pre-installation tasks run before the operating system setup starts, and post-installation tasks run after the operating system is deployed and the target devices are logged in for the first time.

System image deployment tasks only. You can only edit system image deployment tasks when you are using the appliance Administrator console. The KACE Remote Site Appliance does not allow you to edit any task parameters. That is because the System Image Detail page in the KACE Remote Site Appliance displays all tasks that exist on the associated appliance, and therefore they can only be edited in that KACE SDA's Administrator console.

1.
Complete one of the following steps:
◦
On the left navigation pane, choose Deployments > System Images to display the System Images page. Then click a system image name to display the System Image Detail page.
◦
On the left navigation pane, choose Deployments > Scripted Installations to display the Scripted Installation page. Then click a scripted installation name to display the Scripted Installation Detail page.
◦
On the left navigation pane, choose Deployments > Custom Deployments to display the Custom Deployments page. Then click a custom deployment name to display the Custom Deployments Detail page.
2.
Under Installation Plan, locate the task that you want to edit, and click .
* 
TIP: Filters are available for each task type. For example, to look for a specific pre-installation task, in the Available Pre-Installation Tasks column, in the Filter Pre-Installation Tasks field, type the task name.
* 
TIP: To remove a task from the installation plan, drag and drop it to the right column, click the minus sign, or double-click the task in the left column.
A dialog box appears, showing the task details.

Automating deployments

Create a boot action
Run deployment on next network boot
Modify a boot action
Set default boot action
Configure new WIM images to stream directly from or to the server
Specify deployment options
Schedule a deployment
Delete a boot action
Create a multicast WIM image deployment
Edit the default multicast settings
View automated deployments in progress
View completed automated deployments
Edit failed tasks
View the automated deployment image details

Appliance boot actions automate scripted installation, system image, and multicast WIM and DMG image deployments by initiating the deployment the next time that the target device network boots in to the KACE Boot Environment (KBE) or NetBoot Environment at a scheduled time.

The appliance boot process requires that the device Network Interface Card (NIC) is in the BIOS boot order because the appliance identifies devices by their MAC address.

You can create a boot action for one device or for multiple devices, and assign multiple boot actions to the same device by managing the boot action schedule.

When you make changes to an existing boot action, the boot action with previous information is deleted automatically.
