Installing from a Client Disk Image

Disk imaging technology allows you to create an image of an OfficeScan client using disk imaging software and make clones of it on other computers on the network.

Each client installation needs a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) so that the server can identify clients individually. Use an OfficeScan program called ImgSetup.exe to create a different GUID for each of the clones.

To create a disk image of an OfficeScan client:

1. Install the OfficeScan client on a computer.

2. Copy ImgSetup.exe from <Server installation folder>\PCCSRV\Admin\Utility\ImgSetup to this computer.

3. Run ImgSetup.exe on this computer. This creates a RUN registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

4. Create a disk image of the OfficeScan client using the disk imaging software.

5. Restart the clone. ImgSetup.exe automatically starts and creates one new GUID value. The client reports this new GUID to the server and the server creates a new record for the new client.

• To avoid having two computers with the same name in the OfficeScan database, manually change the computer name or domain name of the cloned OfficeScan client.
