How do I remote control a computer during the imaging process?

When a system first boots into smartImager to be imaged, it will announce itself to the server.  The server will then list the client name or IP on the dashboard.  You can get to the dashboard by clicking the smartImager logo, or by choosing Console | Dashboard from the menu.

When a system is listed on the dashboard, there is an eyeball icon next to it.  If you click that link, it will have you download an executable that is the UVNC connection for that particular session and machine.

Each time the client system reboots, you will need to re-click the eyeball icon to start another remote session.  The reason for this is that each executable is made on-the-fly for that particular machine's session.  There is a validation key embedded in each executable that is only valid for that particular client session.  This is done for security reasons.
