Restoring one or more computers

A restore image can be used to return a computer to its condition when the image was created. This takes a much shorter time than a full build process. If there are multiple restore images available, you can choose which image will be used to restore the computer.

To restore one or more computers

  1. From the left-hand pane, expand Picture of the Computers icon Computers and choose All Computers.

  2. From the right-hand pane, right-click the computer and from the menu, choose Tasks, Restore.

  3. Do one of the following:

  4. Click the Options button.

  5. At the 'Warning text' field, type the warning message that will be displayed at the computer before the task occurs.

  6. At the 'Warning duration' field, specify how long the warning text will be displayed at the computer.

  7. If you wish to restore the computer if a user is logged on, ensure the box is ticked.

  8. If you wish to restore the computer if the computer is locked, ensure the box is ticked.

  9. If you wish to turn the computer on to restore it, ensure the box is ticked.

  10. Under Disconnected Computers, define what you want to do if any of the target computers are disconnected from the network.

  11. Click OK to close the Task Options window.

  12. If you wish to restore the computer(s) at a later date, tick the 'Schedule this task' box and then click the Edit Schedule button. You are presented with a Schedule Task window where you can specify when the task will occur, whether it will recur, and when it will expire.
