Machine name and Domain not being applied to deployed image
We are currently using OS Deployer 4 (4.0.2.124) and have never been able to get on the features working correctly. On booting a machine onto the PXE server, the agent is loaded onto the target machine. We are then setting the machine name and domain name (See below) for the individual machine. (see below example machine name) The issue we are having is on restarting and configuring Windows 7, the machine name is not applied, nor is it being joined to the domain as requested.

OS Deployer 4 - Deploy Successful But Will Not Boot
I am currently having an issue in deploying an image to a computer. We have deployed several images already with success. But the problem happens now that when we deploy an image, it "succeeds" but then we boot the computer and it doesn't go past the splash screen and reboots.

Deploy to batch of computers problem

The task stops running after successful deployment and the computer has the correct name. Now the problem is that when I start the task again for a new computer the name pattern starts back at the begin. It needs to go up sequentially. How to achieve this?

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.

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?

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?

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?
