Upload files from shared directory

You can use the Source Media Import page to upload Windows and Linux .iso images to the appliance.

Alternatively, you can use the KACE Media Manager to upload files. However, Quest recommends that you use this page to upload .iso files for some platforms (such as CentOS) because Microsoft Windows causes the file names to become truncated. For more information, see Upload files using the KACE Media Manager.

NOTE: Copying and uploading files can take several hours.

1.	Copy the .iso file that you want to upload to the appliance's clientdrop Samba share.

2.	On the left navigation pane, click Library to expand the section, then click Source Media to display the Source Media page.

3.	Select Choose Action > Import from Clientdrop to display the Source Media Import page.

4.	On the Source Media Import page, in the Source Media Name field, type the name that you want to use for associate with the .iso file. For example: Windows 10 2004 September Update.

5.	Click Source Media ISO and select the .iso file that you want to upload.

6.	Click Import.

When the process completes, the image appears on the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance Source Media page. If Source Media Notifications are enabled for your user account, a new notification appears. For more information, see Configure User Interface notifications.
