REMOTE DRIVER CAPTURE: (Making a custom driver pack from a remote workstation)

NOTE: Prior to running a Remote Driver Capture, the workstation you will be gather drivers from MUST have the following:

• Windows Firewall must be turned off
• UAC must be turned off
• The workstation must be domain joined.

INSTRUCTIONS:

• From the smartImager console, choose Console | Driver Capture
• From the +New Capture link, choose "Remote Capture"
• Enter in a computer name or IP address in the "Computer" field
• Enter in the domain credentials (domainusername) and password in their perspective fields.
• Click the "Connect" button

• Once smartImager connects to the remote system, a "Remote System Information" summary will appear.

• Leave the "Driver Pack" filed set to the default value placed by smartImager

• Leave the optional identifier field blank

•  This should only be used if you have an existing driver pack for the same model and you are testing driver versions.

• Click the "Start Capture" button.

• You can monitor the progress of the driver import/capture from the Driver Capture page on your smartImager console.

• When the Remote Capture has completed your driver pack import, add your new driver pack to your Build (Builds menu from the top menu items). 

• IMPORTANT: If you do not add your driver pack to a Build, it will not be used during a deployment.

• Publish your changes.

• From the top menu on your smartImager console, choose Publish, then Driver Packs.
