Netboot

If checked, the computer boots from the network. If unchecked, the computer boots locally.

In most cases, Netboot is cleared automatically after the Symantec LiveState Delivery action that required the netboot has completed.

Debug mode

If checked, displays additional debugging information during the network boot procedure.

Remaining RAM-Disk Capacity in KB

Defines the surplus capacity of the RAM disk in KB which is suitable for the storage of additional files.

Boot priority

The Pre-OS Agent uses this setting to calculate the file delay and block copy delay when building the RAM disk on the computer. Select a value of 0 through 4, where 0 is the highest priority, and 4 is the lowest.

Value
0 – Highest priority that deactivates the active time period, resulting in no delays and no network load control.

1 – Highest priority with network load control that results in the fastest transfer.

4 – Lowest priority with network load control that results in the slowest transfer.
 

Ask user

Lets the user of the computer postpone actions of the Agent for Windows to a later time.

 

Ctrl-Key active

 

Symantec LiveState Delivery locks the CTRL key so that the user of the computer cannot interrupt the activities being performed.

Fdisk

Allows you to partition the computer's hard disk with the Fdisk utility.

If you use the Fdisk utility to create your own partitioning scheme, Symantec LiveState Delivery is not able to keep track of the drive lettering, and the partition sizes will not be displayed in the Command Center.
