BCX Station Information

This section of BCX Manager allows you simple access to automatic rebuilding of stations, a complete hardware audit of all stations running the BCX Client, remote management facilities and many more options Please click through the following guides to find out more.

How to configure build settings and Rebuild Stations

From the Station Information tab you can configure the build settings to be used when a remote rebuild request is sent to a station.

Click the Build Settings link in the right click menu, or on the ribbon bar, to bring up the settings for the selected station.

If the NetBootUUID is blank you can click either the Set UUID or Set MAC button to write the required data into Active Directory. This will enable the stations to automatically name themselves once built.

The WDS Build Group lists the currently configured automatic rebuild options. If you require an additional option that is not listed please contact us.

Once you have the Build Settings correct you can simply select the stations you would like to rebuild in the Station list and click Rebuild Station(s).

You will then be prompted to either run the task now or schedule a time for it to automatically take place.

The stations do not need to be turned on, if you have Wake on Lan enabled they will boot automatically

Re running Logon and Syncing client with Server

When you change a shortcut assignment this is not sent immediately to the client but rather will take place at the next logon.

Sometimes it can be useful to apply these changes without the user needed to log off and back on again, such as when a whole class is already logged in.

You can select the stations you would like to send this command to in the Stations list and click the Run User Logon button. This will apply any new Shortcuts, Printer task or Wallpaper Tasks to the users on these stations.

Package Tasks similarly are applied in 30 minute intervals.

Should you need a package task to deploy immediately you can click the Sync Client button to request the station(s) to check in with the server and apply any waiting package tasks.
