3. When the task is sent, a “PXE Deploy” template will be generated in the Task Templates tab using the
name you specified (in this example we used “pxe122”). It is disabled with a status of transferring. If
the task fails to finish, it will change to a status of failed, or if the task finishes successfully, its status will
change to be enabled, like below.
NOTE:
A _PXE Capture task can’t be done for a shutdown device or when using a
wireless connection.
Capturing an image without PXE
HPDM supports two modes to capture an image without PXE. One is a cached mode, and the other is a
non-cached mode. The cached mode is a new feature added in HPDM 4.5. If the thin client uses an
advanced network, such as wireless, 802.1x, etc., please use the Cached Imaging mode to capture an
image.
The following table shows which formats are supported when capturing images from thin clients.
