Rename computers via Systems Inventory
Create the ability to rename computers as a post task via the match of the mac address and system name within the system inventory. Right now one needs to maintain a flat file via WSName.

Get KUID from the SMA for an existing machine
Have a pre-install task that will allow you to select an existing device from the SMA to apply the KUID as a post install task. When imaging an existing device with a new HDD/SSD the SDA has no KUID to grab so when the agent is installed it thinks the device is a new device. This causes an issue of having multiple assets that should be the same device asset.

Please build the Kace SDA/RSA Virtual Appliances with the 7.1.94 update.
Please build the Kace SDA/RSA Virtual Appliances with the 7.1.94 update. As the current 7.0.357 contains a bug that does not allow RSA creation across subnets. Currently, I have to build an RSA with the wrong network settings, then update the RSA to v 7.1. Then change the network settings again. This is very time consuming and cumbersome to do.

Storage upgrade ability on SDA and RSAs
The only way to upgrade the storage on your SDA/RSA currently is to create a new one from scratch and import all your package backups (there is no full backup/export option to help either) to replace the old one. There are now 1Tb and 3Tb options available but current machines cannot be upgraded - surely this should be a feature.

Transfer RSA captured images to other RSAs and/or main KACE.
Thanks for adding the ability to capture images to RSA's, now please add the ability to transfer/sync those images between RSA's and the main KACE. Otherwise the ability to capture to RSA's is pretty limited/pointless.

Set a specific boot environment for each automated deplyment
When I switch between using a Windows 7 and Windows 8 scripted installation, I have to go and change the default boot environment (between WinPE-3 and WinPE-5) in the settings. It would be nice if the boot environment could be specified as part of the automated deployment.
9 votesClosing as completed, as this was made irrelevant many years ago.

Upgrade Multiple RSAs as Action from Remote Sites Screen
When you manage multiple RSAs, it's a pain to upgrade all of them when you finish an upgrade of the master appliance.
From the remote sites screen on the master appliance, you should be able to check the box next to multiple RSAs, and choose Upgrade Remote Site from the Action dropdown.8 votesThis feature request has been completed. After upgrading the SDA to 7.2, you can use this feature to upgrade multiple RSAs.

Have Host Name displayed in the Systems Inventory when you boot a pc to the KBE
I am deploying Windows 7 on pc's that currently have Windows XP.
They XP machines have never been booted in the Kace 2100.
I am hoping for a solution that when I boot a existing domain pc into the KBE that the Host name would appear with or with out the IP address.
(Right now I have hundreds of PC's to deploy and I am labeling the Host Name Manually for the IP address)Also If you did not have a hostname for the pc yet because It is a brand new workstation. Once a Image or Scripted Install is…

Windows 10 Deployments
I started playing around with Windows 10 Enterprise Pre-Release. I downloaded the AIK from here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=526740
The new version of Windows 10 can be found on Microsoft Technet or here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-enterprise-technical-preview
The issue that I see at present is that the Dell Kace Deployment Application Client: MSHTA.exe will not run on the WinPE 10.
However, a way to install 10 is to navigate to Y:\source_cds\9 (or the updated Windows 10 source CD) then run setup.exe
This will at least install Windows 10. It isn't a work around, but at least it might Windows 10 a step closer to trying it…

Filter Installation Tasks
since some companies could have a lot of post install tasks, it'd be nice to be able to search the tasks while adding them to the image and then be able to drag them with out leaving the screen search results. Scrolling through 300+ PITS is cumbersome.

Auto Update of Driver Feed
Add a Check Box to download and install new updates when checking for drivers under driver feed, or add a function to automatically check and down new drivers Daily, Weekly, Monthly.... etc...
It is a pain having to click on each model and then download the driver manually.

K2 should detect the sysprep indicators in an image and say so in the UI.
Since sysprepped images contain multiple indicators we could detect that and display it in the K2 UI so administrators have no question of an image's status. A bonus would be indicating the number of syspreps ran on a given image since there's a limit imposed by Microsoft.

Be able to create sym links to driverfolders
As Hp also has started to distribute famy cab driverpacks, it would be nice to be able to symlink the different folders to one folder containing the whole family of drivers. for instance the Elitebook 745 G2 Utilizes the same driverpack as the 725 G2 , but we have to copy the drivers from one folder to another for the drivers to install.

Drag and drop anywhere.
We have lots of software we deploy, ever user is different in the software he/she uses.
I have over sixty programs in the the Post-Installation window.In the previous version, I was able to drag and drop software from the Post-Installation Tasks to anywhere on the left side. And it would drop it in the Run Post Installation Tasks.
Now I have to select the software and use the up arrow key to scroll up the page to drop the software in the Run Post-Installation window.
Please put back this feature.

KACE Agent in KBE environment
I would like to see some sort of agent that can give feedback to the K2000 as to the status of a job. An example would be percentage complete on a system image, or even a simple indicator that a system has booted in to the KBE environment.
5 votesThe Task Engine sends status messages to the KACE SDA indicating success or failure of task and image deployment.

ClientIP in k2000 kbe
I was looking for client IP, once booted, but it only shows server K2000 IP address at the bottom.
Would it be possible to add that right next to the K2000 IP address in the future?
Thanks,

Reboot client PC for imaging
When scheduling a label of machines (e.g. a classroom of about 50 computers) to automatically install an image adding the ability (ideally via a checkbox) to automatically restart those machines so they can begin imaging. Some machines may not want to be restarted immediately that is why optionally would be great.

Add ability to specify Default Boot Action per machine
3.6 removed the Boot Action "Boot From Local Hard Drive" and number of boots. With these a default action could be set with number of boots set to 0 per machine. And when another boot action was used, default could be returned by chaining boot actions.
I do not want to default all machines to "K2000 menu" or "hard drive" boot (General Settings > Default Boot Action). While I do like this option and think it is great, there should be the ability to override it per machine (and hopefully be as visible as boot actions tab).
