Imaging Servers
The Imaging Servers tab provides a list of servers where the Imaging Server has been installed.
To add Imaging Servers, download and install the Imaging Server to your local network. Servers that have the Imaging Server installed are automatically reflected under Imaging Servers.
Imaging Server status must show Online for the targeted computers to have access to the Server and the Images and Drivers that have been added to that Server.
| Deleting Imaging Servers will remove all associated Images and Drivers information. On WDS, images will not be deleted. |
| Deep Freeze Cloud uses the Windows Imaging Format (WIM) for storing images for deployment. |
