Add a profile

addprofile.png

A profile allows you to associate post-installation actions with a master and to add this profile to the workstation’s startup menu when booting the workstation via PXE.

Accessing and Editing a Profile

From the management interface, you can:

  • Add a new profile
  • Edit an existing profile
  • Delete a profile if necessary

List of available post-installation actions

Here are the actions that can be configured in any order you choose.
All are disabled by default; you must select them manually if you want to apply them:

  • Shutdown: Automatically shuts down the workstation once all steps are complete.

  • MountSystem: mounts the system partitions; useful for accessing certain files before deployment is complete.

  • Check MountSystem: Verifies that the system has been successfully mounted.

  • DebugImaging: Enables a diagnostic mode to analyze the imaging process (primarily used by technicians).

  • Copy agent: Copies the Medulla agent to the workstation; required for remote management.

  • Copy setup complete: Adds a file or script to run at the end of the installation.

  • Create folder: Creates one or more custom folders on the workstation.

  • Copy drivers: Copies the necessary drivers to the target machine.

  • Copy sysprep: Installs files related to Windows system preparation (Sysprep).

  • Postinstall: entry point for running a custom script or command once the installation is complete.

Using the Profile

  • Create or modify a profile based on the specific needs of your organization or the target workstation.

  • Select the desired actions in the appropriate order of execution.

  • Associate the profile with a master
  • Run this profile when the machine you want to install boots up.

This profile will then be associated with a deployment task so that the selected steps are automatically applied after installation.
