The K2000 provides a seamless cross-platform imaging solution from a single Administrator Console enabling you to provision Microsoft® Windows® and Apple® Mac® platforms. You can deploy the configuration files, user states, and applications as an image to a single device or to multiple devices simultaneously. The K2000 provides the tools necessary to automate deployments in both homogeneous and heterogeneous hardware environments, and provides reliability of large-scale image deployments with multicast and task engine capabilities. The built-in driver feed automatically downloads Quest driver models, and the Package Management feature enables uploading third-party driver packages. You can also integrate the K2000 with the KACE Systems Management Appliance (K1000) to image the K1000 inventory. The K2000 is available as a virtual and physical appliance. To view information on this K2000, such as its serial number, associated Agent versions, and third-party licenses and open source copyrights, click the version number at the bottom left of the appliance Dashboard page. KACE Systems Deployment Appliance (K2000) 4.1 Administrator Guide 9 About the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance (K2000) Getting started You can set up the appliance by connecting it to your network to configure the network settings from the initial configuration console. After you connect the appliance to your network, you can download the tools required to build a boot environment, change the default passwords, add drivers, and configure other deployment tasks. Tasks for getting started using the K2000 appliance You can install the K2000 appliance and configure the environment to prepare for operating system deployments. Table 1. Tasks for getting started using the K2000 appliance Task How to Install and set up the K2000 appliance Connect the appliance to your network using a monitor and keyboard, and configure the network settings. Log in to the Administrator Console Open a web browser and enter the K2000 appliance URL: hostname This enables you http://K2000_ . to enter the license key and register the appliance. Secure your passwords Change the default passwords. Although not a required task, Quest KACE recommends changing the default passwords during the initial appliance setup. Dedicate a device as the administrator device Ensure that you have administrator rights on the device where the K2000 is installed. Download the tools the K2000 requires to build Download the Microsoft Windows ADK, the K2000 a K2000 Boot Environment (KBE) or NetBoot Media Manager, and Microsoft .NET 4. environment Create a K2000 Boot Environment Use the Media Manager to create the boot environment. The boot environment provides the drivers and tools to deploy the operating system. Set a KBE as the default Select a default boot environment to enable target devices to boot from the appliance. Update drivers Add the drivers that the KBE requires, and enable the Driver Feed for automatic updates of Dell drivers.
