Imaging Profiles

Medulla features imaging profile management. These profiles allow you to associate a master with one or more postinstall configurations, enabling you to link the master and the profile either to machines, to imaging groups, or to apply it directly at the server level.

This simplifies the deployment of workstations via Medulla’s imaging module.

How do I create a profile for a machine and associate it with a master?

Click Add Profile.

Fill in the fields: 

  • Profile Name
  • Description

In the "Order of Post-Installation Tasks" section, select the post-installation tasks you want to associate with the profile and list them in the order of execution from 0 to 10 (0 being the first step and 10 the last).

Click "Validate" once you are finished.

Return to the "Startup Menu" tab;

Click the "Edit" button for the master you just added:  image.png

Check the profile you want to associate with the master for this machine: In my example, I selected the "OfficeProfile."

Then click "Confirm."

The master is now associated with one or more post-installations.

Next, boot your machine via PXE, and Medulla will automatically offer the master image with the associated profile.

You can perform the same steps on an imaging group or via the default boot menu of the imaging server.
