Update an operating system or install a new application once on the server image, and every client computer receives the update instantly upon reboot.
You can then add this child disk like any other image and boot a client from it. This allows you to test software or configuration changes .
Install all necessary drivers (chipset, LAN, audio, VGA). Avoid installing drivers that are unique to the machine if clients have different specifications.
Make sure the drivers included in the CCBoot image are WHQL certified and compatible with the client hardware.

Use the CCBoot image editing tool to remove unused space within the .vhd file to make it as small as possible.
Download and install the CCBoot Client application on the Master PC. Open the CCBoot Client interface, enter the IP address of your CCBoot Server, and click the button. This process binds the network stack to the diskless boot protocols. Step 4: Upload the Image to the Server
Enable PNP on the server or re-upload the image using the standard Microsoft NIC driver. Write-back disk on the server is completely full.
What (Windows 10, 11, Server) are you deploying?
One of the greatest challenges in diskless management is booting different computer models from a single CCBoot image. CCBoot solves this via its management system.
| Image Format | Key Features | CCBoot Recommendation | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | The standard virtual disk format for Microsoft. Widely compatible with older Windows Server versions and tools. | Highly Recommended by CCBoot for its stability and compatibility. | | VHDX | An advanced successor to the VHD format. Offers larger storage capacity, improved performance, and protection against data corruption. | Supported by CCBoot. Preferred for Windows Server 2012 and later. | | VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk) | The native format for VMware virtual machines. | Fully supported, but CCBoot may recommend converting VMDK files to VHD format using the built-in converter tool for broader compatibility. |
For quickly deploying Windows to multiple hardware types, you can use the "Create VHD USB" tool.
Install all required applications, games, and software updates. 2. Optimize the Image
Install all essential motherboard, chipset, audio, and network drivers.
