HostPrep command line syntax
HostPrep accepts a command line flags that control its behavior:
 -y do not ask for confirmation; default is to prompt before continuing
 -yes same as „-y‟
 -guid deletes the HostID only, but does not prepare the settings
 -restart restarts the Host Service when compute; should only be used with „-guid‟
To prepare an installation for imaging, run hostprep.exe with no arguments, and press
the “y” key when prompted.
To delete the HostID on the local computer and cause a new one to be assigned
immediately, run the command line “hostprep.exe –guid –restart”.
HostPrep runs on all of the operating systems supported by the PC-Duo Host.
