How to Use OSIM › Manage OS Installations › Re-install the Current OS
Re-install the Current OS
Depending on the planning status of the affected system, you can reinstall the system in different ways.
To check the situation, open All Computers | <computername> | OS Installation Parameters. The assigned configurations and their states appear.
As you review the status of the affected system, determine which of the following scenarios best fits your situation and follow the steps provided:
- There is a current configuration assigned to the affected computer but no scheduled or planned configuration
To reinstall the current configuration, follow these steps:
- Right-click the system entry and select Reinstall (Current) from the context menu that appears.
- Click OK on the Setup and Activation Time window to start the reinstallation immediately.
- There is a scheduled configuration assigned to the computer
You have the choice either to proceed with the scheduled configuration, which you can accelerate by switching the activation time to Immediately, or to reinstall the current configuration.
The steps for each option follow.
To accelerate the scheduled configuration in Activated status where an activation time is set too far in the future
- Right-click the configuration entry and select Stop Installation (Activated/Pending) from the context menu.
- Wait until the scheduled configuration reports a Stopped status (shows the (Stopped) icon).
- Right-click the configuration entry and select Renew Installation (Failed/Stopped) from the context menu.
- Click OK in the Setup OS Installation window to schedule the installation request for immediate execution.
