Reinstalled WDM 4.5.1 – Where’s my images?

I have a script I can share with you. You use it like this:

1. You need to move all of the packages from your FTP to another location.
2. Put this script in the same directory that you moved the packages to.
3. Make sure all the packages in this directory are “the same”. By the same, I mean same OS, same Category, etc.
4. Edit the script and change OS and Category to the proper values. If you’re not sure what they are, pull a configuration off an existing device and look at the script (right click the new package, click view script).

When you run the script, it will look in each subfolder for a settings.reg file. If it finds one, it will create an RSP file for you based of the directory name. You can then import this RSP file into WDM and the configuration will be made available.

This won’t work for images, however, you CAN modify the script and give it another condition to look for the image file and have it create the RSP file. I used it to import all of my configurations, including images, and it worked fine.

I hope this helps a little!

btw, it’s a batch file. Just create a new text file and rename it something.cmd.

Joe, maybe you should ask Wyse for a job 😉

Are you trying to create an RSP from scratch? If so, there are three things that need to match:

1: The name of the RSP file, without the extention is important. So, for this example, we’ll name our package TestPackage.rsp. Remember the filename without the extention, as you’ll need it in two more places.

2: Inside the RSP, there is a value called number=. It should be set to the name of the RSP file WITHOUT the extention:
[Version]
Number=TestPackage.rsp
.
.
.

3: The directory name that holds the files (not the RSP, the files in the package!) should be the same as the Number= value. So, if we saved our RSP file in C:Packages, you would place the files in C:PackagesTestPackage.

Using the criteria above, you’d have the following files/directories:

C:PackagesTestPackage.rsp <–script file, inside Number=TestPackage
C:PackagesTestPackage <–These files are the contents of the package
