Imaging Servers
The Imaging Servers tab provides a list of servers where the Deploy Imaging Server has been installed.
The following information is displayed:
• Server Name
• IP Address – Displays the IP Address of the Imaging Server.
• Images – Displays the number of Images found in the Imaging Server
• Last reported – Displays when the Imaging Server last checked in online.
• PXE Status – Indicates whether the Imaging Server supports PXE Booting or not.
• Status – Indicates whether the Imaging Server is online or offline.
• Version – Displays the version of the Imaging Utility installed on the computer.
To add Imaging Servers, download and install the Deploy Imaging Server to your local network. Servers that have the Deploy Imaging Server installed are automatically reflected under Imaging Servers.
Imaging Server status must show Online for the targeted computers to have access to the Server and the Images and Drivers that have been added to that Server.
 | Deleting Imaging Servers will remove all associated Images and Drivers information. On WDS, images will not be deleted. |
 | Deploy uses the Windows Imaging Format (WIM) for storing images for deployment. |
