maintenance of Windows operating systems
Quick resolution by allowing users to self install Windows operating
systems
Prevent loss of productivity by providing ability to quickly restore corrupted
systems

Self Provisioning

10. Bare Metal Provisioning
Bare metal provisioning focus on installing operating systems on endpoints.
Administrator get set of Bare Metal machines
Admin specifies the MAC address, host name and domain of the new
machine by
Adding Machines details manually
By importing the data using a CSV formatted file
Admin then selects an existing OS configuration (template), adds all details
like regional settings and OU of the computer and requests its installation
Admin powers on the client machine
Client machine gets provisioned and End user can log on to the machine
The endpoint should contain the BBCA tuner and receive all applications
assigned to him/her

11. Scheduled Personal Backup and Restoration
The user gets a new machine and the personal data of the user(s) of the old
machine needs to be migrated to the new one.
Administrator gets a Bare metal machine
Admin specifies the MAC address, host name and domain of the new
machine by
Adding it manually or
By importing the data using a CSV formatted file
System backups up personal settings from old machine
Admin selects an existing OS configuration (template) and requests its
installation
Admin powers on the client machine
Client machine gets provisioned
System (as part of the OS installation) restores settings on to new machine
End user can log-on with known settings from the previous machine

12. Self Provisioning
The feature set “user selectable OS install” represents the way of self
provisioning as part of the integration.
Admin selects one machine out of a pool of machines which has been
already been added to the group
Admin powers on the machine and enters the escape key during the PXE
menu
Admin selects menu entry “Self Provisioning”
Admin enters user name and password
Admin select one of the shown self provisioning items
Admin commits the installation
[optional] Admin adds values for each variable which has been defined for
being asked during the installation

OS installation is ready and user can logon

13. Reuse Proxy/Repeater tuner for sub depot data Replication
The user can use the repeater/proxy profile node for sub depot installation and
Empirum data replication
New proxy/repeater setup
 Create a profile using repeater/profile node and configure OSM data replication
details(source tx, install dir. Include and schedule..)
 Select installer type as “Create and installer that contains both the installers for
BBCA Tuner and Empirum Sub depot” and configure BBCA Tuner and Empirum
Sub depot installer related settings
 Deploy the installer.
Existing Proxy/Repeater Setup
 Edit the proxy/repeater profile and configure OSM data replication
details(source tx, install dir, include and schedule)
