Benefits of a Universal Image
Software updates, security patches, service packs and bug fixes are deployed sooner
Machines can be cloned more often and at a lower cost than ever before
New systems, migrations and rollouts are done in a fraction of the time
No need to keep track of multiple Image files
More efficient use of storage space
IT staff can focus on more critical projects

From start to finish, enabling a single image takes less than 10 minutes - one time, when you set up your Master machine.

That's all there is to it

Creates in conjunction with your existing Imaging software like Ghost, SCCM, Altiris, Zenworks, Acronis a single W7, Vista, XP, W2K Image that works on nearly all hardware. Run the Universal Imaging Utility before cloning your master PC and you can be down to one Image in less than 10 minutes

• whether they're desktops or laptops
• regardless of your imaging package (Symantec Ghost or Altiris, Acronis, ZENWorks, System Center Configuration Management (SCCM), Windows Deployment Services (WDS), imageX, etc.)
• and regardless of manufacturer (HP, Lenovo, Gateway, Dell, Toshiba, and on and on).

With Universal Imaging Utility you will be able to enjoy easy-to-use restore of this harddisk Imaging without the pain of the right OS, patches, sysprep and driver problems across your organization from any bootable device or your network.

The world's truly "universal" disk-Imaging solution!

A single fast Image that can be used on nearly any PC, regardless of make or model.

Big Bang LLC , the creators of UIU, brought you Ghost before, the world's first and most popular disk-Imaging software.
The clever people at Binary Research International now invite you to discover the advantages of their Universal Imaging Utility (UIU).

This process is so unique, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted the UIU a Patent in April 2009. U.S. Patent #7,512,833 B1
The UIU generally installs in 10 minutes or less, and then you simply clone the PC using your disk imaging software.

What's going on "Under the Hood"?

With the UIU, IT departments realize significant cost reductions through elimination of redundant tasks associated with maintaining a heterogeneous computing environment.

The UIU is designed for Microsoft Windows XP (SP2 & SP3) and Vista (SP1) systems specifically (Windows 2000 is still serviced by UIU v3.7). The developers of the UIU explain it like this:

1. When you manually install Windows from CD, the installation CD/DVD will work on nearly any system. The UIU resets your existing Windows operating system to a similar "pre-installation" state, allowing for correct detection of different hardware platforms upon image deployment without crashing the systems.

2. UIU then runs MIMIC and, new, a pre-deployment Discovery Tool assesses your environment, allowing you to make any necessary adjustments before continuing the process.

3. Next, a regularly updated driver database is installed, assuring greater compatibility with new hardware components. As you acquire new hardware, with new video, network and audio components, you need not maintain the necessary drivers; Big Bang does the work for you.

Then, Microsoft Sysprep is launched. Running Sysprep helps keep you in compliance with Microsoft's standards for disk imaging, and the UIU uses it to help detect the hardware components on a machine receiving a Universal Image. Additionally, Sysprep will change the Security ID (SID) on your recipient PCs, allowing for consistent interaction with any Active Directory domain structure. The UIU handles Sysprep answer files for you, (both XP and the new Vista XML format), so there is no need to build a custom Sysprep answer file.

Finally, during Windows mini-setup, UIU detects and installs the correct HAL (ACPI, UniProcessor or MultiProcessor), and handles all hardware driver installations, now including High Definition Audio devices. Finished!

By incorporating UIU into your Imaging process you eliminate the problems typically associated with multi-platform Imaging attempts, such as error messages, blue screens on cloned machines, incompatible HAL's, or IDE S-ATA controllers that don't work.
