You can set a KACE Boot Environment (KBE) as the default KBE for the appliance.
If you change the share password, create a new KBE using the new password.
1. |
On the left navigation pane, click Settings to display the Control Panel, then click General Settings to display the General Settings page. |

3. |
TIP: When you review the details of a KBE using the Boot Environment Detail page, the Default field indicates if the selected KBE is a default boot environment. |
• |
The recommended process for creating a new KBE is provided below.
a. |
Move out (or delete) any items in the kbe_windows_xXX directories located in the KACE SDA drivers share (\\KACE_SDA\drivers). |
b. |
c. |
Extract the downloaded driver pack and copy the contents from the desired architecture's folder into the kbe_windows_xXX directory located in the KACE SDA drivers share. |
NOTE: You should only have the drivers for one WinPE version at a time in the kbe_windows_xXX directories. |
b. |
d. |
e. |
On the Create KBE page, on the General tab, review the automatically generated name for the boot environment. You can edit this value, but keep in mind that the KBE name must be unique. Quest recommends that you include the architecture, WinPE version, and the date in the name. For example: WinPE 5 x64 4-5-2019. |
h. |
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 Dell drivers to the driver_postinstall directory.
Ensure that you set the KACE SDA Samba Share Password on the General Settings page.
• |
You can add non-Dell device drivers and Dell-specific device drivers that do not get updated from the Driver Feed to the drivers_postinstall directory. |
• |
You can create the folders to organize the drivers under the drivers_postinstall directory using the Manufacturer name\OS Name\Model name 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.
