Update the embedded version of 7-Zip in the Driver Feed Builder Application
The current version of the Driver Feed Builder v3.0.0.0 uses an embedded version of 7-Zip v9.2. The current stable version of 7-Zip v19.00.
The current embedded version v9.2 is flagging in our enterprise anti-virus solution due to vulnerabilities in that version. Suggest replacing with current version v19.00 at a minimum.
Should take a minimum amount of time to provide this update in the next version of the Driver Feed Builder application.

Deployment-Wide, Deployer-Defined Variables
Would like the ability to create user-defined variables within a deployment definition (Scripted Installations, or System Images) that are valid for the entire process of deployment. These variables would be held by the K2000, not by the box being imaged.
Example:
As a pre-install task, I could determine the BIOS version of the box being imaged, and store it in the variable FIRMWAREVER, and then at any point subsequent, in a later pre-install task, or a post-install task, I could call %FIRMWAREVER% and have that information. This way I don't have to store it on a temp RAM…1 vote -
Custom Schedule to Export Packages
Could we have more options for the schedule export of packages? We are looking at schedules such like:
A. on a monthly schedule i.e. the last day of the month or 15th of the month
B. biweeklyI understand that the ability to create a custom schedule is available on the K1000.
Thank you.

adding a button on the SDA to re-start the samba share service
Add a button on the SDA to re-start the samba share service.
We oftern image hard drives that are placed in units where the Bios cannot be updated to pixie boot over lan. We need to reboot the SDA when we image a hard drive off another unit.

Show estimated time for WIM to be copied from host
I upgraded from version 5 to 7.1.94 this week and imaged for the first time and was surprised and dismayed at the same time. I like the image progression bar addition but before you had an estimated time that it would take for the wim file to be copied from the host. I know roughly how long it takes from imaging many different PC's. The image progression bar sits a 0% the entire time that the wim is copying from the host. having a timer or another progression bar showing the progression/time remaining for copying the wim would be immensely…

enable / disable a post install task from executing
if one has the same post install task in 10 scripted images, be able to enable / disable them all at once. for example, a new post install task needs to be created; however, the implementation date is unknown. I can add the task to the 10 scripted images - at my leisure, then when i need to enable the task - it is one click. Be able to enable / disable a task from executing
1 voteThank you for this feature request!
It’s interesting to consider the prospect of viewing the details of a PO task and seeing all the deployments to which it’s linked. With that view available, one could execute an action en masse rather than individually.
We will review this request and determine its place within our product backlog.

Add an additional column in the "Deployment progress" view to be able to identify the machines.
Add an additional column in the "Deployment progress" view to be able to identify the machines. Right now its just possible to show the "Name", "Deployment", "Deployment Type" and "Date Started".
In a big envrioenment (we have 14k+ clients and 200 sites) this is completely useless as multiple installations starting at the same day and the list is showing the same "names" just the time is different. By adding the IP and Mac address (both values are available at that point already) would significantly help to identify the correct machine which needs to be monitored.
Easy implementation and a great…

Detect which "Source Media" and which KBE "Is actually in use"
In a bigger environment it happens that multiple administartors are creating KBEs and injecting Source media. After a while that gets messy and needs a cleanup, but Kace does not offer any option to easily identify which are in use and which are just left overs. There is a marker for "default" but that is all. Would be really helpful to see "used" or "unused" Source Media or KBE.

Split task queues for replication
Please make the "nightly sync" queue run multiple RSAs in parallel, or at least adjustable. We are running 200 RSAs and if one of them for whatever reason is blocking delaying the sync the whole queue gets into a backlog. Then it is hard to get it synced without manually interacting and canceling and pushing multiple RSAs at once.
As it is possible to run multiple syncs manually triggered in parallel it should not be a big deal to also make that work for the build in queues.
Same applies at days when we need to inject new drivers intro…

Enhance Scan User States Offline task to work for User Profiles stored on secondary partition
It would be very helpful to have the Scan User States Offline task work for environments where user profiles are stored on another partition (D:\Users for example).
The builtin Scan User States Offline task works only if users are stored in C:\Users. Also, the task is somehow hard coded and receives some parameters passed on from Custom, Scripted, Imaging html files respectively and where it's called. The scanuserstates_offline.wsf references scripts under peinst\hta folder which is read only so customizing this task it's almost impossible.

Add a field to the linked appliances list
K2000 Settings - Control Panel - Linked Appliances
Add a singe field to the linked appliance records called "Description". Apart from the hostname (which in many instances is just an IP address) there's no way to identify the various linked appliances.
Thanks!

stop process
can we add a cancel image upload or kill upload process option on the SDA for system images. i recently ran into an issue where kace failed to capture my image and the SDA was stuck on "Finalizing image". the only way i could stop this process was to reboot the SDA. after the reboot the status changed to "interrupted because SDA was rebooted" and then i deleted it.

Update all RSA Settings
I have several RSAs. Whenever I add a new image I have to go into each of them to check the box (and uncheck the old one). It would be great to be able to update them all at once.

Enable SAN (Subject Alt Name) SSL field. Currently on v9.1.178 and this still isn't possble.
We are still unable to specify the SAN for the current release of the SDA v9.1.178. While it's available for the current release of the SMA, this is still not the case for the SDA.
Please make this available, there were requests for this in 2014 and it's still not done. If you guys can't add this within a 10 year limit the development team for sure needs some work.

Ability to import a CSV with MAC addresses to create automatic boot options for devices which were never booted
Right now it is nessesary to boot all devices once to have a network inventory to setup automated boot options.
Better way would be:
Import a CSV with all MAC addresses of the newly delivered devices to create automated boot actions to fully automate the process.0 votes -
