New Image

The New Image dialog schedules the creation of an image from a source machine.

Dialog Fields

  • Image Name - Enter a name for the new image.

Select a source image.

  • Repository - Select the repository to create the image in.
  • Folder - Select the folder to create the image in.
  • Image Source - Select the source image.
  • Image Description - Displays the description of the selected image.

Enter a credential for the source machine to rejoin the domain after the image is created.

Note: The source machine is "sysprepped"—it's identity wiped—prior to the image being taken. All the attributes of the source machine can be restored after the image is recreated, except for rejoining the domain, so a credential must be provided.

  • Join a domain - If checked, the source machine will be added to a domain after the image is created, using the following domain credential. If unchecked, the user is only asked to supply the administrator password. The computer will be added to the workgroup called Workgroup.
  • Domain - The name of the domain to join.
  • Username - The domain user name.
  • Password - The domain user password.
  • Confirm Password - Re-enter the domain user password.

Schedule image creation.

  • Create Now - Create the image immediately.
  • Schedule For - Enabled if Create Now is not checked. Schedule the creation of an image for a specific date and time.
