/email_encryption:

<no|ssl|

tls

Specifies the type of encryption that is used by the SMTP server. For

example:

/email_encryption:tls
Without this parameter, no encryption is used.

email_n_test
Use this command instead of the email_n command, with the same set of parameters, to test the

configuration of e-mail notifications.

14.1.4 Usage examples

Example 1. The following command creates an image arc.tib of hard disk 1, and places the image to

the network folder \\server1\folder. The operation log file log1.log is saved in another network

folder: \\server2\dir\. Credentials for both network folders are provided:

asdcmd /create /harddisk:1 /filename:\\server1\folder\arc.tib /net_user:user1

/net_password:pw1 /log:\\server2\dir\log1.log /log_net_user:user2

/log_net_password:pw2

Example 2. The following command creates an image of the volume 1-2 sector-by-sector (in the raw

mode) and saves the image to volume H:

asdcmd /create /filename:h:\raw.tib /partition:1-2 /raw /log:c:\log.txt

Example 3. The following command deploys the hard disk 2 from the password-protected image

1.tib that is located in the network folder \\server1\folder, to the disk with the same number, 2.

asdcmd /deploy /filename:\\server1\folder\1.tib /password:qwerty /harddisk:2

14.2 Sample scenarios

14.2.1 Deploying images assigned to target machines

Scenario

An administrator needs to deploy a different master image to each target machine.

Solution

The administrator puts the images in a shared location that can be accessed from each target

machine.

The administrator renames each image according to the target machine’s MAC address. The image

destined to the machine with MAC address 01-02-03-04-05-06 will have the name, for example,

image-01-02-03-04-05-06.tib.

The administrator writes a deployment script that can read the target machine’s MAC address and

pull an image with a name corresponding to the MAC address from the shared location. The script

can be executed on any number of target machines.
