Can PowerMAN be deployed in a pre-built software image or Ghost-style deployment?
PowerMAN fully supports deployment in a pre-built software image. This is sometimes known as a ‘Ghost’-style deployment. Typically, in this scenario, PowerMAN is manually installed on a master computer and configured with the desired settings. This computer is then cloned on to multiple destination computers. There is one important thing to remember when performing such a deployment: Remember: The ClientGUID setting is used to uniquely identify each computer. This is automatically generated and should not be cloned from one computer to another. If this field is removed PowerMAN will generate a unique new ClientGUID. If the same ClientGUID is present on multiple computers this will prevent the reporting feature from operating correctly. Please remember to remove the ClientGUID prior to creating the master software image. The easiest way to do this is to stop the PowerMAN service and then use the RegEdit tool to delete the setting from the HKLM/Software/PowerMAN registry key. This step s
