3. Imaging Instructions

The PC-Duo Host can be installed onto a base image that a general population of end users receive.  Vector Networks provides a Utilities zip  file (https://www.vector-networks.com/downloads) containing a command-line utility called HostPrep.exe and it prepares a machine for imaging.  After you've installed the PC-Duo Host on your base image and have configured the settings within the PC-Duo Host Control Panel's various tabs, you would issue the following command from an administrative command prompt.  Type "hostprep -y" and the Host service will now stop, the Host's GUID (globally unique identifier) is cleared and now it's safe to take a snapshot.  Resulting machines will generate their own unique GUIDs upon first-time bootup and they will begin populating in your PC-Duo Web Console.
