Add a profile

A profile allows you to associate post-installation actions with a master and to add this profile to the machine’s boot menu when booting the machine 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 the desired order.
All are disabled by default; you must select them manually if you wish to apply them:

  • Shutdown: automatically shuts down the machine 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 computer, 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 computer.

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

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

  • Postinstall: entry point to run a custom script or command once installation is complete.

Using the profile

  • Create or modify a profile according to the specific needs of your organization or the target computer.

  • 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.
