S L O W WIM Loading from PXE Boot
All is working great, however - loading the WIM is deathly slow. I'm assuming it PROBABLY has to do with 10/100 NIC due to no drivers, however I am just looking for confirmation or how to speed this up. Once it gets into OS Deployer for the code, it flies
OS Deployer, Unable to connect to server retry is in progress

ME OS Deployer Support Questions
We currently use several other products from ME, but OS Deployer seems to be the least focused on for updates and documentation and features. Maybe the community can help me out. Where on the ME website can you find the current build number of OS Deployer? Where can I find the current supported nic drivers for the OS Deployer Agent? Why cant I inject drivers like other OS deployment software? Since most of this product is Acronis, do i gain anything with ME OS Deployer vs Acronis? Is there actual
Image Deployment Failed - Physcial Drive Error

OS Deployer Desktop Central Push Deployments
The one item that keeps our group from using OS Deployer is the inability to push deployments via agent to a workstation. We currently have this capability with Smartdeploy and it is a God send when it comes to mass deployments without having to have people sitting in front of workstations. Are there currently any plans to add push deployment via agent to OS Deployer?
Automatic device name selection
Hi, I have a question about deploying an os to muliple systems. I would like to use the computer detail settings list in my deployment template to check if a mac address already has an assigned device name.

Windows 10 ADK support?
I am creating a WinPE 10 image to use with Optiplex 7050's and am noticing that when creating the image the Windows 8.1 ADK is being used instead of the Windows 10 ADK (I selected the wim file in the Windows 10 ADK when creating the media). I attached some screenshots of when the media is being created and when it is being uploaded. We are using OS Deployer version 5.0.3,136

HI Team, We are planing for upgrading our infrastructure, from Win-7 to Win-10, but unfortunately we are unable to install Win-10 through OS Deployer on machine, as its getting failed while deployment. we try to troubleshoot using error code which was generated in deployment logs.

Force PXE Server to answer special MACs only
Hi, According to this Thread https://resources.manageengine.com/topic/os-deployer-pxe-boot-question it seems, that I can not prevent the PXE Server to deliver the PE bootimage to other Systems. Configuring the PXE-Server to autoboot Windows is no solution. I want to control when a System is starting normally to Windows and alternatively when it is starting to an automated deployment with a preselected Image. Is this possible with OS Deployer? or Can I simply configure somewhere to which MAC addresses

Looking for Windows software deployment solutions for custom applications
Hello, Hey Spiceheads, got a bit of a quandary here, we're cracking the nut on custom internal desktop applications for some of our heavy lifting applications and I've been tasked with finding an A - Z method of setting the environment, and currently find myself stalled on application deployment. I know you can toss things to the wild using GPO, Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, and PDQ; however, as I've got zero experience with these tools, and the fact is that I'm a web developer, not a sysadmin, I'm
Unable to save image to external device
Hi We recently purchased OS Deployer 5 (5.0.3,117) but have been encountering issues when saving an image to external USB hard drive. We have tried two external devices, both 2/3 TB and unused. The external hard drives were recognised when connected to a PC but when we attempt to save an image to the device, OS Deployer doesn't see the device and is unable to save the image. The external hard drives can then no longer be used as they are not recognized devices regardless of which PC they are connected
Issue 2 of 2: Machines aren't listed as ready
Here is my second issue as stated from my previous post ... Ever since 5.0.3136 went live I've noticed the following problem: whenever I unbox and boot up new machines via PXE they aren't automatically listed under "Machines on [name of OS deployer server]" [As an aside, I noticed this happening to even recently imaged machines, too. They will restart (because I tell them to restart in the deployment template) and invariably boot to PXE and default to the agent. Even if the newly imaged machine is
Creation of an Administrator in Windows 10
Here at our IT shop we are doing plenty of rounds of Windows 10 deployment, so bear with me as I've been finding some issues with OS Deployer. There is an option to create user accounts by 1. Right clicking on the Machine name. 2. Selecting "Individual Settings" 3. Selecting "User Accounts" 4. Adding a user name and selecting a group (Administrators, Power users, Users.) Here's the problem: I can create the user and assign it a password. Now, whenever I log into the freshly imaged computer (running

Os Deployer ManageEngine Remote Agent Service keeps crashing
Hello I've installed OS deployer to windows 2016. When I restart my windows 2016 machine then I can make one deployment without any problems and if I want to make a restart or start a another deployment then The computer to what I wish to deploy OS goes to this state(see the attachment) And doesn't go further anymore. Also I cannot stop ManageEngine Remote Agent Service then, without killing it. If I kill it and then start it again, then it is all good for 1 deployment again and then the problem

Surface Pro 4 v. OS Deployer
Anybody know how to get Surface Book Pro 4s to boot PXE (and get to my OSDeployer server) when I keep getting the following: >> Start PXE over IPv4.

XP & Win 7 Difference
Hi Babu , i have another question in the hopes of you pointing me in the right direction. Why it is there a different option when loading a Winxp system to capture an image than that of a win7 system, with win xp it gives you a section where u can see the network card info and address assign etc and with windows 7 it does not. And with windows xp when proceeding it also give u the option to save the image on a network share but with windows 7 it does not , it only gives u option to save the image
Booting to Agent Takes a Long Time
Recently I got our PXE server working and was doing testing in our environment. We found very quickly that booting into the Agent often took five minutes or more to get to a point where we could start taking or deploying an image. The screen we get stuck on is the one where it says "Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while..." To me 5+ minutes is way too long considering taking an image off of a base machine only takes 5-10 mins. Is there a way to speed this up? Perhaps its something in

Creating a Master Image/OS Deployer 5-Input/Output Error
Hello All, I have an error popping up whenever I create a Master Image over my network. I can't find much on this on google, what I did find didn't resolve anything. I pixie boot the computer, select the master image creator option, and go through the steps (what will be included in the image-system reserve etc, the networked computer the image will be saved to, etc). I then start the process, usually takes about 20-30 minutes, but at the end the error pops up (image attached). Now, we've never
