8.2.01 - New Features
Bare Metal Provisioning
Bare metal provisioning focus on installing operating systems on endpoints.
Administrator get set of Bare Metal machines
Admin specifies the MAC address, host name and domain of the new machine by
Adding Machines details manually
By importing the data using a CSV formatted file
Admin then selects an existing OS configuration (template), adds all details like regional settings and OU of the computer and requests its installation
Admin powers on the client machine
Client machine gets provisioned and End user can log on to the machine
The endpoint should contain the BBCA tuner and receive all applications assigned to him/her
Scheduled Personal Backup and Restoration
The user gets a new machine and the personal data of the user(s) of the old machine needs to be migrated to the new one.
Administrator gets a Bare metal machine
Admin specifies the MAC address, host name and domain of the new machine by
Adding it manually or
By importing the data using a CSV formatted file
System backups up personal settings from old machine
Admin selects an existing OS configuration (template) and requests its installation
Admin powers on the client machine
Client machine gets provisioned
System (as part of the OS installation) restores settings on to new machine
End user can log-on with known settings from the previous machine
Self Provisioning
The feature set “user selectable OS install” represents the way of self provisioning as part of the integration.
Admin selects one machine out of a pool of machines which has been already been added to the group

Admin selects menu entry “Self Provisioning”
Admin enters user name and password
Admin select one of the shown self provisioning items
Admin commits the installation
[optional] Admin adds values for each variable which has been defined for being asked during the installation

OS installation is ready and user can logon
Reuse Proxy/Repeater tuner for sub depot data Replication
The user can use the repeater/proxy profile node for sub depot installation and Empirum data replication
New proxy/repeater setup
Create a profile using repeater/profile node and configure OSM data replication details(source tx, install dir. Include and schedule..)
Select installer type as “Create and installer that contains both the installers for BBCA Tuner and Empirum Sub depot” and configure BBCA Tuner and Empirum Sub depot installer related settings
Deploy the installer.
Existing Proxy/Repeater Setup
Edit the proxy/repeater profile and configure OSM data replication details(source tx, install dir, include and schedule)
