Specifying the project build date
In the last step of the operating system deployment wizard, the schedule for the project build and its activation is defined. Building the project signifies to check that all parameters and values of the project are correct and that all required elements are available and in their correct location.
There are the following build schedule possibilities:
- Either schedule the build immediately, this is also the default selection.
- Postpone the build to a specific date. In this case select the Deferred to radio button. The two time boxes to the right will become available. Enter the desired date and time in the respective boxes. Click the arrow in the drop-down box next to the Deferred to box for the calendar to pop-up. Select the date for the project to be built. Then, in this following list box select the assign time from the list. You can modify the minute value by selecting the :00 and modify it to your needs, for example, 12:30 to launch the assignment at this time.
Activate
For a project to become available for deployment or WIM Capture it must be activated. By default this option is checked in the wizard.Note:
Be aware that only one project per OSD Manager at a time can be active. If you have more than one deployment project you must schedule them in such a way that they are not launched at the same time and that the first deployment has finished before the next one starts, that is, that they are not active at the same time. It is however possible to execute simultaneous deployments via different OSD Managers in different subnets. If you activate a new project via this wizard any other project in the same subnet will automatically be deactivated.
Note:
In case of a Sysprep WIM Image Capture , the target must be running before the project becomes active! Also, you must manually launch the provided batch file
//OSD Manager/PXETFTP/SYSPREP/RUNSYSPREP.BAT
, that will sysprep the target and finally reboot it. The file must be executed as a privileged user (admin), on Windows Vista and above, the file must be executed using "Run As Administrator" even if the user belongs to the administrator group. If the file cannot be found in this location the project is not activated or not set as a Sysprep image type.
Click Finish to either launch the project build or confirm the project and its schedule.
