About
What is ImageInvoker?
ENGL ImageInvoker 2.0 is a secure user-friendly imaging front-end for Symantec Ghost Solution Suite (GSS). ImageInvoker can be secured using domain, local server or password authentication. Once authenticated, the ImageInvoker client will display GSS jobs as menu options. When a job is selected the computer can be renamed and the job scheduled and processed.
Timeout countdown
ImageInvoker can be configured with a timeout that causes the client to display a countdown. If the timeout elapses without user input, ImageInvoker will exit and continue any automation tasks.
