When you create a new image, it is only available to you, and it is only allowed to be run on a few computers that have been set aside for the testing of new images.

NOTE: After you have been through these steps one time, if you are granting the same set of users access to a new image, you may only have to perform step 1.1 for subsequent images.

Step 1: Image Mapping

Images are mapped to be run on a set of computers. See the documentation on Resource Mapping to learn more about why this is done. For your new image to be able to run on more computers than just those designated for testing, you need to map it to a set of computers. There are a few steps to this process:

1. You need to make your image a member of an image group
   • Select Manage Images->Edit Image Grouping
   • Select your image from the drop down box and click Get Groups
   • Choose one or more image groups to which you would like to add the image from the box on the right
   • Click <-Add to make the image a member of the group(s)
2. You need to map the image group(s) you selected in #1 to one or more computer groups (if they are not already mapped)
   • Select Manage Images->Edit Image Mapping
   • Do the following for each group from #1:
     • Select the image group from the drop down box and click Get Computer Groups
     • Choose one or more computer groups to which you would like to map the image group from the box on the right
     • click <-Add to map the image group to the computer group(s)
   • Note: there is an assumption here that the computer groups you selected already have computers that are in those groups
