Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to deploy OPSI images by DRBL/Clonezilla software ?

After several attempts, I don't sucess to deploy OPSI image with Clonezilla, so I think it's impossible for the moment. (Clonezilla doesn't found images)

Hi,
it depends on what you mean with 'opsi image'.
opsi fokusses on os deployment using the unattend method.
You may make an image from a via opsi installed computer.
But before you use this image for deployment you have to do a lot of typical image deployment tasks.

I mean with the "ntfs-write-image" tool with OPSI ! After that, I would like to deploy it with Clonezilla but it doesn't found it

Hi,
the ntfs-write images are normal partclone images like they are used by clonezilla.
They are created with
Code: Alles auswählen
partclone.ntfs --rescue --clone --force --source <source device> --overwrite <target file>
they may be compressed by gzip.
What is the reason that you want to use a image based installation ?

Ok, so it can be possible to deploy it with Clonezilla, sound good
The reason is because unattend installation are slow. So, I do it on 1 computer and after I would like to make an image with OPSI. After that, I would like to deploy it with Clonezilla !

I think a better way is to create a Windows Image File (WIM). You can deploy a WIM via the normal OPSI OS deployment system.
A WIM is completely independent of your Hardware and you can include inside this WIM what you want
1. Install a PC with all of your software (without drivers & the opsi-client-agent)
2. Use sysprep
3. With Windows PE & ImageX you can create a WIM
4. Include this WIM instead of the WIM from your Windows DVD in your Win7 package

a second benefit is that you can use the Driver integration from OPSI & you can select additional software for every client via the traditional deployment way.
Also you can include Windows updates without createing a new image into your WIM.
The deployment of a WIM looks like a installation of Windows - but your additional software (and your special settings) is already installed
