Disk Cloning Utility

This utility helps customers use hard drive imaging technology to deploy OfficeScan client software. This technology lets you make an image of a workstation and then make "clones" of the master workstation to other workstations on your network. Since every copy of OfficeScan on the network must have a unique GUID to identify the client when reporting to the server, the Disk Cloning Utility creates a new unique GUID on the cloned copy of OfficeScan.

To create workstations with a copy of the OfficeScan client software:

  1. Obtain a disk image utility.
  2. Install the OfficeScan client software to a single computer which is used as the source of the hard drive image.
  3. Execute imgsetup.exe on this machine. Imgsetup.exe will create one RUN registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  4. Create the hard disk image using the disk image utility.
  5. After the cloned machine reboots, imgsetup.exe will automatically start up and create one new GUID value. The client software will report this new GUID to the server and create one new record.

Please manually change the computer name (or domain name) to avoid having 2 machines with the same name in the OfficeScan database.
