Altiris Deployment Server features "Create a Quick Disk Image" and "Distribute a Disk Image" options. [. . . ] These options can be accessed by right-clicking on the thin client(s) to be managed. Do not use these options unless the EWF on the managed thin client(s) has been disabled. If the EWF is not disabled during the create image process or distribute a disk image process, the Aclient post-image configuration tasks will not be written to the hard drive when the image is restored. This will cause a reboot loop on the thin client. Altiris Deployment Solution comes with sample scripts for executing jobs and tasks on SONY Thin Clients. Jobs for creating and distributing disk images which properly handle the EWF partition can be found in the Jobs pane under the heading SONY Thin Clients. These can also be created manually using the following steps.
