Step-by-step Guide

To use ImgSetup.exe:

1. Install the operating system, the preferred applications, and the OfficeScan/Apex One client software on a computer that will be used as source of the disk image.
2. • For Apex One On-Prem: Go to the ..\PCCSRV\Admin\Utility\ImgSetup folder in the OfficeScan/Apex One server.
   • For Apex One SaaS: Refer to the KB article: Using agent tools for Apex One as a Service for the steps.
3. Copy the imgsetup.exe file to the client machine.

   

4. Run imgsetup.exe as Administrator.

   

   A RUN registry key will be created under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

5. Use your disk-imaging application to create a disk image of the OfficeScan/Apex One client.
6. Deploy the image created by the application.

When the newly-imaged machine is being started for the first time, imgsetup.exe will automatically start and create a new GUID value. The client will report this new GUID to the server and then the server will create a new record for the new client.

The Image Setup tool creates a new GUID, but it does not change the computer name in the OfficeScan/Apex One database. To avoid having two machines with the same name, you must manually change the computer name or domain name of the cloned OfficeScan/Apex One client.

To verify if the OfficeScan/Apex One client disk imaging deployment is successful:

1. Verify if the system tray icon of the OfficeScan/Apex One client appears as "Online".
2. Log on to the Web Console, choose the Agents menu > Connection Verification.
3. Click Verify Now.
4. Open the client console of the cloned OfficeScan/Apex One clients.
5. Right-click the agent in the system tray and choose Component Versions.
6. Verify if the GUID is different from that of the source OfficeScan/Apex One client.
