Preparing for capture

Follow the best practices for capturing images, such as ensuring that the image is up-to date and that there is enough space on the appliance for the image.

The Quest KACE Support team provides best practices for capturing images. For more information, see, https://support.quest.com/kace-systems-deployment-appliance/kb/121734.

Best practices to prepare for capturing images for deployment:

•	Ensure that there is 20 percent free space on the appliance.

•	Use only the volume license media instead of the OEM media.

•	Create an administrator profile to set up as the default administrator user.

•	Capture a non-sysprepped version of your primary image first in case you have to restore the image to the original device.

•	Sysprep the image.

•	Capture a sysprepped image to the appliance and verify that there is enough space on the appliance for the image.
