Hello, I got an issue during deployment captured image which always lead to errors. Is there any proper way how should I deploy the captured image?anything that i should check? I'm still new using KACE K2000

One thing to look for is making sure your image deploys to a nice, clean drive. I always do the following on images:
- Check the box for "Remove local files not in image"
Preinstallation tasks:
- Create Single Partition
- Format C: as NTFS
- Install Vista/2008/7 MBR
Also - for Win7 I've found making sure you capture and deploy with one partion works best (i.e. no hidden system partition)
Good Luck!

What OS are you deploying? Did you sysprep the image before capturing it? What errors exactly are you getting during the deployment? A little more information would be nice, it helps us help you. :)

Definitely post more details. Sometimes we have seen the errors before and worked through them ourselves. There are a lot of little things that can go wrong during deployment. - philologist 12 years ago

This is typically related to partitions not being setup correctly. Would be best to call support and get in a webex.
If you captured 3 partitions, then you need to create 3 partitions as a preinstall, and you need to set them to the correct size.

When you say three partitions sounds like you left the oem and recovery partitions on your master.
If this is the case I would start over run with a Kace scripted install that cleans the HDD so your master you want to capture from only has one partition.
Sounds like you partitions are flipped at the time you capture. You can "Collect Inventory" before the capture and check this. This article http://www.kace.com/support/resources/kb/article/Deploy-a-Windows-7-Image-Containing-the-100-MB-System-Partition explains this a little more. This is supposed to be working now in 3.4.
