Deployment Solution
Details
Function Causes RapiDeploy to restore the unique disk
signature in the MBR of the hard disk from which the image was
created. Normally, RapiDeploy does not transfer the disk
signature to the target computer when deploying an image. This
switch can be used when restoring an image to the same or
similar systems. The -szf switch may be needed in combination
with the -restoresig switch.
Example One This -restoresig switch has been added to the
Distribute Disk Image job in the XP Embedded folder in the
Samples folder to protect the Write Filter Partition. It is required
for all Restore Image jobs for XPe Thin Clients.
Example Two The -restoresig switch is needed when restoring
an image to a Citrix Metaframe Server to preserve the alternate
drive mappings. In this situation the -szf switch is also required.
Note
This switch will function only if no production partitions are
being preserved on the hard drive when deploying the disk
image.
Function Create a recovery solution checksum during upload.
Function Specifies the number of Client PCs included in a
multicast session. When the Master PC detects the specified
number of Client PCs, it automatically starts the multicast
session. The number specified does not count the Master PC.
Example To set the number of Client PCs that will be
connecting to the Master PC in a multicast session to 9
computers, type
[filename]
rdeploy -mdb -f
See also -m[mode], -f[path & file name]
Function Prompts between each piece of an image file (if set
when using the -split command), allowing you to insert new
media.
Example To prompt between each file in the image set, type
[filename]
rdeploy -mu -f
See also -m[mode], -f[path & file name]
Function Breaks an image into multiple files of a specified size
during an upload (in megabytes).
Example To set the file size to 500 MB, type
[filename]
rdeploy -mu -f
See also -m[mode], -f[path & file name]
Function Send to N clients.
