  • Method for providing an image of software installed on a computer system
    Patent number: 8151260
    Abstract: A method for providing an image of software installed on a computer system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of deconstructing the image into at least one portion and creating at least one module from the at least one portion of the image. The deconstructing step can include the steps of scanning an image and identifying at least one portion of the image to be modularized. The creating step can include the steps of extracting the at least one portion of the image identified to be modularized, generating at least one module from the extracted portion of the image. The modules that are created in accordance with the present invention can be formatted for use in a new image or part of a new image to be used with a software program such as with a hardware-independent imaging tool. Further, the modules can be used with hardware-independent technologies.

  • IT administrator initiated remote hardware independent imaging technology
    Patent number: 7917916
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for removing the driver map component from being stored on the service partition and placing it on a server for retrieval at a later time. Only the actual device drivers that are required for that system will be provided. A central repository will be provided for applications and device drivers that would leverage the AMT area. The AMT IDE-R would be used to store the hook to network install, for example an IT administrator initiated network install to an unpowered system. Two situations exist in which this method will be used. The first situation involves supplying ImageUltra content to a system that is connected to the Local Area Network while ImageUltra is running. The second situation involves supplying ImageUltra content to a system that is not connected to the Local Area Network while ImageUltra is running.
