Server Imaging jobs
Windows Sysprep imaging notes:
•
The reference and target servers must have the same BIOS EMS setting.
•
Do not enable the Automatically perform reconfiguration task after completing this imaging
task
option in the Distribute Disk Image task.
•
Some applications do not image properly.
•
The “prep” script removes or uninstalls HP hardware-specific software. This removal allows the captured
image to be deployed to any HP server. The Support Pack installation task, after the image deployment,
installs any necessary HP software.
•
Just like the scripted installation, you can customize the sysprep answer file.
•
By default, the Sysprep jobs use the corresponding Enterprise product key. If you need to capture a
different edition, you must change the job to use the appropriate product key.
