No mouse or keyboard in Hyper-V with OS Deployer
I am trying to capture an image of a VM in Hyper-V, but when the "Master Image Creation Wizard" starts the mouse and keyboard do not respond and I cannot start the wizard. I think it might be driver issue, but I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone assist?
I need to capture a server image before it boots for the first time. HOw can I use the PXE server to accomplish this?
I am doing a job for the Department of Homeland security and need to make images of a server as it is hardened so that the powers that be can see what was done and when. This image will then be applied to multiple servers in two data centers. The first image to be made is the fresh out of the box, then I will capture images as it is hardened.

include backup of system state with de duplication technology
one of the suggestion is that include the system state backup of each PC with deduplicaiton technology on scheduled basis. let the agent do this part. in case of some system error admin can restore to different system state. in case of disaster recovery they can use this system state from fresh installation

Distributing OS image over WAN
Hi, Do you have to install Distribution Server in dedicated server at remote site or can it be run on print or file server? Or is it even possible to install Distribution Server in Windows 7 PC? Some desktop management products can use one of the remote site client PCs as a "distribution point" for rest of the PCs at remote site, is there this kind of feature in Desktop central? /Petteri
Automating OS image deployment and application deployment
Hi, If I have a clean OS image without any un-necessary applications. Can I create an automated task where both solutions OS Deployment and Desktop Central Software Deployment work together? OS Deploymet pushes the Windows 7 image after that Software Deployment starts to push selected application packages automatically. Or do I have to make these in separate steps, step 1 OS deployment, step 2 application A deployment, step 3 application B deployment, step 4 application C deployment ... Kind

Universal Deploy
Hi, I am looking to try using Universal Deploy when pushing images, but cannot find any help with sourcing different HALs. I need to push an image created on a Core i5 to an AMD Turion based laptop, but can't find a HAL.dll for win 7 64 bit. Am I looking for the correct thing? Is there a known library of HALs? If not, does anyone have any advice that would be helpful? Thanks in advance. Tim

Deploying to 300 PC's over 3 months
Hi, Is it possible to set up a deployment task that will push to any PC that connects to the agent and will take the next PC name in the list? At present, I have created a deployment task and template for the roll out. I set a scheduled task to push the image to a set of mac addresses entered into the task. It assigns a unique name that is set each time I run the task. Is it possible to remove the need to edit the template (to change the name) and add the mac addresses every time as it is a potential
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

network shares to install - performance
Hello, We have a deployment server on ip 1 and one network share where we have the images with ip 2. We see that a client is installating from the storage with ip 2 BUT we also see that on the ip 1 there is all the traffic from ip 2 too. This means that anyway the traffic is going from computer to ip 1 and from ip 1 to ip 2 and back top IP 1 and to the computer installing. Maybe is not so clear what I’m explaining but we have clearly a problem of perfomances using the ip1 to deploy directly

What can windows 7 do?
I am a pc user but I'm finding that windows 7 isn't as good as I would have hoped. The thing is I know there are many things I can do, but i don't know them. For instance my friend has a mac and the OS is all full of neat stuff such as photo booth and all the other 'flashy' things But i know that windows has similar capabilities and there must be some things you can download for windows 7 as well right? Also , with OSX mountain lion out it seems to me that the mac OS seems to update with more features

Make Sense of Deployer 3
Hi, I am confused on the product. We are testing this for our office and it is replacing desktop authority. We have been able to make images but we have not found a way to mount them. This is key for us, as we tend to open user images to obtain files and also it helps check if the image is valid. Is their away to do this. Am I missing something ? -Devan
OS Deployer 3
It seems strange to me that if I take an image from a machine to a storage goes at 80mb/s and when I try frmo the same storage to apply the template to the same machine on the same network goes only to 4, 5mb/s. It set to throttle to 1gb unicast and I have only 1 machine on the network making the operation and no other traffic. I guess for the upload of the master image you don't have speed throttle where you have for the installation of the single images. is there a way to remove this limitation?

OS Deployer PXE Boot Question
Hi We are currently evaluating OS Deployer but we have a question: * Is there a way, like RIS or WDS, to not boot in PXE without you pressing a key (like F12) -> we had an issue where one morning some servers that rebooted at night did not come up but were "hanging" in the OS Deployer PXE screen waiting for us to make a choice :-/ Or that the standard choice after 5 seconds would be the boot into Windows option. Thanks
WOL Problem
I tried deploying image through the network using the bootable media and it was working perfectly. Now I’m trying to deploy the OS using the WOL method. Unfortunately I’m facing problem, when the machine is booted and when the machine is trying to connect to get an IP and connect to the server, it will be stuck and restart the machine.

Deploying is successful, Except It's not
After creating an image and booting via the standalone utility flash drive, I started a standalone deployment. About 3 seconds after I hit "proceed" I get a message saying "Deploying is successful" except when I reboot I realize my box has been bricked. There's also a slight blip on the screen when I click "Okay" on that rather misleading success message that allows me to see what looks like more than a few errors. I've gone the distance on this one reading the documentation and trying this product
