Scan user states offline

Scanning user states offline enables you to capture the user profiles from devices that are assigned to a deployment. The appliance captures the profiles if the Scan User States Offline pre-installation task is assigned to the scripted Installation or system image, then deploys the selected user states with the Deploy User States post-installation task. When scanning user states, you can also choose to load additional user states that are available on the appliance.

1.
On the left navigation pane, choose Deployments > System Images to display the System Images page. Then click a system image name to display the System Image Detail page.
On the left navigation pane, choose Deployments > Scripted Installations to display the Scripted Installation page. Then click a scripted installation name to display the Scripted Installation Detail page.
On the left navigation pane, choose Deployments > Custom Deployments to display the Custom Deployments page. Then click a custom deployment name to display the Custom Deployments Detail page.
2.
The Scripted Installation Detail or the System Image Detail page appears.
3.
Under Installation Plan, move the Scan User States Offline Pre-installation Task from the Available Pre-installation Tasks column to the Run Pre-installation Tasks column. Ensure that you place the Scan User State Offline first in the list and that you add the Deploy User States post-installation task.
If a user profile on a target device matches a user profile on the existing user state records, the process overwrites the existing record.
4.
Click Save.
The appliance rebuilds the scripted installation or the system image.
