Introduction
Image Assist is a tool set that enables you to use Dell imaging services to quickly create and maintain a ready-to-deploy
Microsoft Windows image. Depending on your requirement, you can either use Image Assist Static or Image Assist Dynamic to
create an image.
To use Image Assist Dynamic, install the Image Assist Dynamic tool.
Image Assist Static
The Image Assist Static tool enables you to create and capture a Microsoft Windows image for a single platform. You must
create multiple images to support multiple system types.
Image Assist Static allows you to:
● Create a bootable Image Assist USB drive.
● Capture your local hard drive as a Microsoft Windows image file.
● Test your Microsoft Windows image file by restoring it on your local hard drive.
Image Assist Static does not Sysprep the Windows image, update or install drivers, or modify settings within the captured Static
image.
NOTE: It is your responsibility to verify the image content and test the captured images.
NOTE: Some partition sizes or orders may be modified to work with the Dell factory processes or to adhere to Microsoft
guidelines.
NOTE: To comply with the Image Assist license agreement, you must configure and customize the systems using Dell Client
Configuration Services.
