Deploy device templates
You can deploy a template that includes a set of configuration attributes to specific devices. Deploying a device configuration template on
the devices ensures that the devices are uniformly configured.
NOTE:
To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based
OpenManage Enterprise user privileges.
Before you begin deploying a device deployment template, ensure that:
• You have either created a device deployment template or cloned a sample template. See Create a template from a reference device.
• The target devices meet the requirements that are specified in Minimum system requirements for deploying OpenManange Enterprise.
• The OpenManage Server Configuration Management license is installed on the target devices.
CAUTION:
Ensure that only the appropriate devices are selected for deployment. After deploying a configuration
template on a repurpose and bare-metal device, it might not be possible to revert the device to its original
configuration.
