New computer’s serial number
What region the computer will be assigned
Onsite:
Follow documented processes in this document

4. Before You Go & Follow Up Imaging Check List [cont’d]
Follow Up: These are critical and must be completed on site before you leave
Manually migrate data and user settings from old laptop to new laptop during refreshes and break/fix where old data is accessible
Add folder to the root C drive for users who scan and name “XXXXX”
Removed IPv6 from both LAN and Wireless under Network Settings / TCP/IP
Remove the “one off” account which inadvertently gives users local admin rights from the User Accounts on the computer

5. Before You Go & Follow Up Imaging Check List [cont’d]
Follow Up: cont.
Citrix version checked and updated
Printers added depending on Citrix or non-Citrix protocol
Performed a GPUPDATE /FORCE to bring down all group policies
Mapped all user network drives
Internet Explorer version is 11 and configured correctly to be backward compatible with older websites
BITLOCKER must have completed all encryption before handing the computer over to the user

6. Prepping & Downloads Creating a Boot Drive for Imaging
USB Boot Drives will only need to be created when you re-image an existing machine.
How to Create a “Bootable” USB Drive:
You will need a thumb drive with the minimum capacity of 16GB.
Insert a USB flash drive into a running computer.
Logon with Admin rights
Open a Command Prompt [CTRL – R].
At the prompt type diskpart.
At the new command prompt, type list disk to determine the USB flash drive number or drive letter, and then hit ENTER.

7. Prepping & Downloads Creating a Boot Drive for Imaging
How to Create a “Bootable” USB Drive: cont.
The list disk command displays all the disks on the computer.
Note the drive number or drive letter of the USB flash drive.
(Hard drive of Computer is normally listed as Disk 0, usb is normally Disk 1)
At the command prompt, type select disk <X>, where X equals the drive number or drive letter of the USB flash drive, and then hit ENTER.
Type clean, and the hit ENTER. This command deletes all data from the USB flash drive.
Type create part prim to create a new primary partition on the USB flash drive, then hit ENTER.

8. Prepping & Downloads Creating a Boot Drive for Imaging
How to Create a “Bootable” USB Drive: cont.
Type format fs=ntfs quick to format the partition, then hit ENTER.
Type active, and hit ENTER.
Type exit, and hit ENTER.
The USB is now ready for the imaging data.

9. Download Data Location
Downloading Desired Imaging Data for Boot Drives
Create a “Bootable” USB with the minimum capacity of 16GB
Time based on bandwidth and USB Port/Drive versions
Locating & Downloading the Correct Imaging Data:
Use Filezilla to Download Imaging Data
Server: sftp.hubinternational.com
User:
Password: E4HA&uG&

10. FileZilla Known Issues
In order to see the images the techs will need to
Create a New Site under 'File - Site Manager'
and
Change the Protocol to SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol.

When complete, have the user login.
Lync and Outlook will auto populate.
Assist or instruct the users with adding printers and any applications unique to their needs in the region as requested or necessary. This will take approximately 45 minutes for the computer to complete these tasks.

15. Re-Imaging an Existing Device Before Beginning
You will need a Bootable USB.
(See How to create a “Bootable” USB drive)
Each image is approximately 11GB and will take time to download based on bandwidth and port speed.
It is advisable to create the image boot drive before you go to the site.

16. Re-Imaging an Existing Device Before Beginning
Identify the model of the system experiencing the issue.
Download the image from the server. It is important the correct image is downloaded, so double check.
Copy the appropriate folder to your local drive. Then copy the file contents in the folder to your Bootable USB

23. Application List Be familiar with the following applications:
Acrobat Reader
Acrobat Pro
BenefitPoint
CRM
DuckCreek
EPIC
OracleFusion
SEMCAT
VDI/Citrix/XenApp/XenDesktop

24. Post Image Installation
Verify encryption is complete
Perform a GPUPDATE /FORCE to bring down all group policies. You must be logged is as the user as updates are tied into the user’s profile.
Static IP address (unlikely) Certain PCs require static IP address, which must be reapplied after image/replacement. Check on the machine being replaced or with the user for the required static IP address. This is an unlikely scenario that should affect very few users.
Setup Users profile and restore all user settings and files.
On laptops, add local printers and map any needed drives.
Power Settings – If you use Balance setting the plan will be overwritten by policy. Choose “Other” and change lid and others to “Never”

25. Post Image Installation
Updates are run every week Tuesday or Wednesday nights.
Custom Software If the user’s old/reimaged machine had a non-standard piece of software installed, you will need to work with the user to determine installation media and product keys to reinstall on the replacement machine.
Desktop Shortcuts
Citrix VPN Access Gateway – Log into for the user and run the install. Answer the scan question with “Always”. You will have to log into the VPN three times to get the full software to install fully and for the user to be able to logon. This is only required for laptop machines. VPN may take 3 launches to completely install.
Xen Citrix Desktop – is created under favorites in IE once Group Policy is applied. Copy to desktop for Staff that use Citrix.

26. Post Image Installation
Installed Applications These are software installations that should have been installed automatically as part of the imaging process. Check to ensure software is installed and up to date.
System Center Endpoint Protection – make sure a current Virus definition version is installed. Runs in the AM upon startup.
Direct Access – Updates, if the computer is part of the security group for Direct Access Connection when gpupdate /Force is run from Command Prompt.
