Configuring the OSCW Installer in Normal Mode

To provide the OSCW installer with the download source for the IGEL OS Creator file (ISO), we will create a profile that provides the path to that file. To assign the profile to the target machines, we will use a view that recognizes the target machines by their product ID.

The configuration comprises the following steps:

• Creating a Profile

• Creating a View to Select All Target Machines

• Assigning the Profile to the Target Machines

• Monitoring the Process

1. In the structure tree of the UMS Console, go to Profiles and open New Profile in the context menu.

   

2. In the New Profile dialog, change the settings as follows:
