Imaging & Deployment System Requirements

KServer

  • The Imaging & Deployment module installs on VSA 6.1, with all hotfixes applied, and later.

Minimum Requirements for Each Repository Machine

  • A Kaseya agent must be installed.
  • Only physical machines are supported, not virtual machines.
  • Microsoft Windows XP (SP3), 2003, 2003 R2, Vista, 2008, 2008 R2, 7
  • Linux and Macintosh are not supported.
  • 1 GB RAM for XP and 2003, and 2 GB or more for Vista and above.
  • 100 GB disk space. Image sizes can range between 300MB and several GBs.
  • At least one connected, physical ethernet adapter. Wireless adapters are not supported.
  • Network access to a DHCP server. The repository agent machine can have a static IP address, but the Virtual Server running on the repository machine must to be able to obtain a DHCP address.
  • Do not use the Kaseya server as the repository source. This may interfere with Kaseya functionality.

Image Creation and Deployment Machines

  • Supported operating systems: Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, 2003, 2003 R2, Vista, 2008, 2008 R2, 7
  • Both physical machines and virtual machines are supported.
  • The destination drive must be equal or larger than the source drive.
  • Software RAID/fake RAID is not supported.
  • At least one connected, physical ethernet adapter. Wireless adapters are not supported.
  • The Windows directory must be called "Windows" and be located on the first or second partition of the boot disk drive.
  • The system setup, or BIOS, of each KID target computer must be configured to bootup using the network interface card (NIC) option at startup, regardless of whether an agent is installed or not. Most computers built within the last 5 years have the NIC bootup option enabled by default. The NIC bootup option must be sequenced before the hard disk (HDD) option. KID requires this for both image and backup deployment.
  • An installed Kaseya agent is highly recommended.

Note: See general System Requirements.
