KACE Product Support

Hi,

Run into a weird issue which has me stumped so to say. Excuse the essay, but having it all I think could help paint a better picture of what I wish to achieve and where it fails. KBOX2000 appliance is running the latest version KBOX 2200 3.2.31608

In our company we use the HP Thin Client T5730. This unit runs XPe SP3, has 1GB of Flash and our corporate standard GP applied.

To initiate and prepare the image for mass deployment (which we have used succesfully in the past unig KACE to rebuild our 200 units in a department) we perform the Thinstate capture onto a USB thumbdrive. This process from my understanding does the HP Sysprep, converts the "HP image" then to a bootable medium onto the pendrive. Once completed, if the unit is powered up, the XPe enters a mini sysprep and voila, re-imaged client. The process however is hampered by the speed of the USB process, meaining it takes about 35 minutes to complete. Then you need to add it to the domain, rename etc etc. KACE here allowed us to rebuild 50 in 10 minutes, simultaneosly with postscript tasks joining and renaming as applicable from MAC address.

Once the Thinstate capture completes, the unit powers off. Now wanting to capture the image, I boot into PXE, Select Capture image. Under drives to capture I select:
C:\ Type: NTFS Size: 0.95GB Free: 0.11GB *** makes sense as this only has 1GB flash drive
Select Force continue on errors and Start.

Capture commences, once completed the log section says it all, the total image size is 1.2GB. The "drive" is only 1GB, and as indicated above the drive capture shows 0.95 GB total size for C:

Where is this mysterious 250MB coming from preventing me from deploying the image to another identical Thin Client. The error reads that there is not enough disk space, duh.

Any pointers or tips would be appreciated, I am exhausted.

Thanks
Steve
