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.
