Taking Snapshots for Mass Deployment
A snapshot is the system image of a client, allowing you to use that image for mass deployment. This system image can be
stored on a remote management computer or a locally attached USB flash drive.
2.6.1 Taking a snapshot in an USB flash memory
To create a snapshot stored in an USB flash memory from the thin client, do the following:
1. On Atrust Client Setup, click System > Snapshot.

To store the system image on a remote computer, ensure that Atrust Device Manager has been
Note
installed on that computer, and that the client has been added into a managed group under
Atrust Device Manager.
When taking a snapshot, all system specific information, including the Computer Security
Identifier (SID) and computer name, will be reset or removed from the system image by
performing the System Preparation (Sysprep) tool automatically.
Taking a snapshot will reset the startup behavior to the default (auto-sign-in with the default
standard user account). For details, see Chapter 2, "3. The Behavior of System Startup".
In case of taking a snapshot in an USB flash memory, you need at least 32 megabytes of flash
memory that is not encrypted.
When taking a snapshot in an USB flash memory, USB flash memory is formated.
When taking a snapshot in a remote management computer, a remote management computer
needs at least 8 gigabytes of free space.
