Enter a credential for the target machine to rejoin the domain after the image is deployed.

Note: All the attributes of the target agent machine can be restored after the image is deployed, except for rejoining the domain, so a credential must be provided.

  • Username - The domain user name.
  • Password - The domain user password.
  • Confirm Password - Re-enter the domain user password.

  • Run Selected Procedure after OS Image Deployment - If checked, select an agent procedure from the Post Procedure drop-down list.

Select and schedule the machines.

  • Machines tab - Select the agent machines the image or backup will be deployed to.

Note: The Schedule tab does not display if Deploy Now is selected to display this dialog.

Periodic scheduling includes setting start and end dates for the recurrence. Not all options are available for each task scheduled.
