Setup Date and Time

Activation Time: Select date and select time or type it in directly.
This activation time is the time at which the OS installation manager starts to analyze and perform the installation request.
The default is the current time.

Note: If Wake-on-LAN is selected, the responsible boot server will wake up the target computer when the activation time is reached and after the OS installation order is pending on the boot server.

Note: The Network Interface Card has to be configured for Wake-on-LAN.

Wait for Boot Server assignment

Check this option if the OSIM manager should wait until a Boot Server has been assigned.

If the target is not assigned to a boot server, the activation of the OS installation waits until the target is picked up by a boot server and reported to the domain manager.

Logoff User and Reboot

If Logoff user and reboot is selected, the target computer starts a logoff and reboot procedure at the given activation time in order to install the new operating system image after the system reboots.
The installed agent executes the reboot of the target computer. If a user is logged on to the target computer, the agent raises a message and a 2 minutes countdown starts. This can be deferred to 30 minutes, up to 10 times.

Wait for Boot and OS Image availability

Check this option if the OSIM manager should wait until the necessary images are available at the Boot Server.
If the target is assigned to a boot server, the activation of the OS installation waits until the required boot and OS images are available on the boot server.
