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.**
