Deployment via drive imaging

Deployment of systemhound using drive imaging technologies such as Symantec© Ghost© is support however it does requires special consideration because the systemhound server allocates each systemhound client a unique id. Therefore, when deploying systemhound via drive imaging software you must follow the following steps prior to taking an image that includes the systemhound client:

1. Stop the systemhound scheduler service on the machine

Windows NT/ 2000/ XP/ 2003/ Vista (administrative rights are required)

  • Stop the systemhound scheduler service via services within control panel

Windows 95, 98 & ME

  • Start\Run "c:\program files\systemhound\shservice.exe" -stopall


2. Delete all files under c:\program files\systemhound\logs

3. Delete the registry values machine_id and machine_id2 from under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\systemhound key using the regedit utility

Note: If the machine is rebooted whilst on the network the above steps must be repeated to ensure the client does not re-register itself with the systemhound server.
