Kaspersky Security Center allows you to deploy WIM images of desktop and server-based Windows® operating systems on devices within an organization's network.
The following methods can be used to retrieve an operating system image that would be deployable by using Kaspersky Security Center tools:
Import from the install.wim file included in the Windows distribution package
Capturing an image from a reference device
Two scenarios are supported for deployment of operating system images:
Deployment on a "clean" device, that is, without any operating system installed
Deployment on a device running Windows
The Administration Server implicitly features a service image of Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), which is always used both for capturing operating system images, and for their deployment. All drivers required for proper functioning of all target devices must be added to WinPE. Generally, chipset drivers required for the functioning of Ethernet networking interface must be added.
The following requirements must be met in order to implement scenarios of image deployment and capture:
Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) version 2.0, or later, or Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (WADK) must be installed on the Administration Server. If the scenario allows for installing or capturing images on Windows XP, WAIK must be installed.
A DHCP server must be available on the network where the target device is located.
The shared folder of the Administration Server must be open for reading from the network where the target device is located. If the shared folder is located on the Administration Server, access is required for the KlPxeUser account (this account is created automatically while running the Administration Server Installer). If the shared folder is located outside the Administration Server, access must be granted to everyone.
When selecting the operating system image to be installed, the administrator must explicitly specify the CPU architecture of the target device: x86 or x86-64.
