DriveLock in virtualization environments

Configuration: DOC -> Inventory -> Computers

If you have a VDI (Virtual Disk Image) environment in your company or are working with disk images where a DriveLock Agent is pre-installed, the clone images ( also referred to as golden images) will need to be introduced to the DriveLock Enterprise Service (DES) as such.

Please do the following:

In the DOC, open the Computer view. Select your golden image there and open the configuration of this computer.

Enable the Computer is used as an image for other computers setting. This will allow DriveLock to identify the computers that are repeatedly recreated with the same name, and the entire history will be saved.

In the computer overview, you can show the columns Image for other computers and Created from to get an overview of all the clone images that exist and the computers that were created from them.

In case you have to completely reinstall a golden image and the Verify agent identity option is enabled in the DOC security settings, make sure to reset the agent identity of this computer in the DOC first. This is important so that the cloned images can connect to the DES on the first boot.
