Today we learned all about how to image a computer. I remember a couple of times I had to image my computer because the hard disk on my computer was failing. However, I don’t often use imaging on a regular basis. However, as a technician one is expected to know how to create an image and image computers especially in an enterprise setting.
Our lab assignment for today was to image a computer using an image located in a network storage. We used the Acronis True Image software to recover the image to one of the vacant classroom computers. Our first try was not successful due to the size of the network image we were using and probably because we were accessing the resource at almost the same time. Anyway, we learned a lot and were able to install a new Out of the Box Experience (OOBE) of Windows on the target machine. Tomorrow we will continue with the final set-up the computer.
