Upon completing these steps, SIDGen will automatically execute after any future Rapideploy Imaging Job. The program will execute after the Post Configuration Task and will add an extra reboot to the imaging process. Executing Altiris SIDGen Utility You can execute the Altiris SIDGen utility in several different ways. The most common execution allows the utility to run silently within a Deployment Solution imaging job. If the SIDGen utility is present in the same folder as the Aclient on the client, the utility automatically executes during the Post Configuration Task without user interaction or knowledge. Use this method with Deployment Solution 6.1 SP1 Hotfix C or later versions, which resolve cleanup failures. Insure that post configuration runs, either by itself or in combination with an image capture/deploy job, only when the FBWF writer filter is not in use (because either no writer filter is in use or the EWF is in use). The sample jobs section of the Altiris console can be used to send out a disable FBWF job before running the image capture/deploy job or running a post configuration job by itself. Be sure to re-enable the FBWF by using the sample jobs or other means afterwards, if desired. You can also execute SIDGen through a command line or by double-clicking the icon anytime the user wishes to generate a unique SID. 4
