My overall goal.
I'd like to be able to make a base image with Altiris agent installed already but not all the extra software/hardware.
Ideally, we could create this base image, take that and choose the specific hardware to install and then push that image to the PC or laptop.
Currently, everytime we receive a new model PC or laptop. We install all the hardware/software and what not, create the image, push it to a fresh machine, then install Altiris and then wait for it to update. Even with the force it can take awhile to do so.
If we can have a base image for everything, choose the hardware to install and then push the image with Altiris agent already installed it can then check in and then pull the rest of the software and it's updates.
