Updates were made to the following sections. The changes are explained below.


Imaging Engine (Img: Command Line and Menu)

The following updates were made in this section:

Location Change

Make on Proxy (img makep)

Added the following sentence to the "Address" row:

"This can be any server running the Imaging Proxy service."

Make on Proxy (img makep)

Added the following text to the "Filepath" row:

The UNC path to the new image file being created, including the image filename and the .zmg extension (case-sensitive). The format of the UNC path is as follows:

//servername/volume_or_share/path_to_store_images/imagename.zmg

Upon execution of img makep at the cmd line, the servername portion of this path is replaced with the value in the address portion of this syntax.

Make on Proxy (img makep)

Added a new example:

img makep img.xyz.com //bogus/sys/imgs/dellnt.zmg

Takes an image of all partitions and saves the image to sys/imgs/dellnt.zmg on img.xyz.com. (Assumes img.xyz.com is the DNS name of a server running the Imaging Proxy service).

Because the servername inside the UNC path is replaced by the address value defined earlier in the cmd line, //bogus would become
//img.xyz.com

Restore from Proxy (img restorep)

Added the following sentence to the "Address" row:

This can be any server running the Imaging Proxy service.

Restore from Proxy (img restorep)

Added the following text to the "Filepath" row:

The UNC path to the image file to retrieve, including the image filename and the .zmg extension. The format of the UNC path is as follows:

//servername/volume_or_share/path_to_stored_images/imagename.zmg

Upon execution of img restorep at the cmd line, the servername portion of this path is replaced with the value in the address portion of this syntax.

Restore from Proxy (img restorep)

Added a new example:

img restorep img.xyz.com //bogus/sys/imgs/dellnt.zmg

Removes all existing local partitions, retrieves the image from sys/imgs/dellnt.zmg on img.xyz.com, and puts down the partitions and contents of that image on the available local writable devices. (Assumes there is sufficient local space, and that img.xyz.com is the DNS name of a server running the Imaging Proxy).

Because the servername inside the UNC path is replaced by the address value defined earlier in the cmd line, //bogus becomes
//img.xyz.com


Performing Manual Imaging Operations

The following updates were made in this section:

Location Change

Manually Taking an Image of a Workstation Using the Bash Prompt

Added the following text to Step 4:

The IP address or DNS name should be that of your Imaging server. This can be any server running the Imaging Proxy service.

The UNC path to the image file to retrieve, including image filename and .zmg extension (case-sensitive). The format of this UNC path is as follows:

//servername/volume_or_share/path_to_stored_images/imagename.zmg

When img makep is executed at the cmd line, the servername portion of this path is replaced with the value in the address portion of the path.
