on page 110.
Automatically add to a group
You can select one of the following options to automatically add new computers to the
group that you specify.
Add client(s) to default group. Adds new computers to the All Computers group.
Add client(s) to a specific group. Adds new computers to another group. Use back
slashes to separate subgroups.
Select computers on the network
Identify client computers on the network and add them to a list of computers to
remotely install the Deployment Agent.
Add. Select the computers by the name in the list, or enter a computer name or IP
address.
Computer Name. Enter the name of a computer on the network or its IP address.
Properties. Select a computer and view the agent install settings. You can also change
SID and Agent settings from the Agent Properties dialog.
Import. Import new computers from a file.
This file has the following parameters:
-c:[computer] –u:[username] –
. The parameters must be entered in this order.
p:[password] –i:[input file]
The password parameter is not required if the administrator account does not have one
assigned. If you are using the default settings, you do not need to specify an input
filename. Each computer entry must be on a separate line.
Export. You can export the listed computers into an export file to use later. The default
extension is *.RCI. Remote Agent Installer first looks for an RCI file extension, but any
DOS text file can be used.
When the computers appear in the installer list and the properties are set, click Finish.
The status of the agent install appears.
After the Deployment Agent is installed, it automatically connects to the Deployment
Server and appears in the Computers pane of the Deployment Console.
Download Microsoft sysprep
If you select Enable this agent to use SIDgen and/or Microsoft Sysprep on the
previous dialog, the Remote Agent Installer dialog locates the required installation
files for the specific versions of Sysprep.
Update file system permissions when changing SIDs. Select this option to
automatically update file system permissions to maintain the individual file permissions
that you may have set. This also includes the individual network shares that may exist
on this client. On selecting this option, SID conversion takes a long time.
