WinPE Modules
WinPE modules are used as an alternative way to boot your machines when deploying images. Instead of needing to boot through PXE or USB. You deploy directly from the Toec Client. This assumes the computer is booted into Windows and has Toec installed. The module is then assigned to a computer / group where you can then deploy the image. More information can be found at Select A Boot Method
Search
The search page allows you to view, delete, and archive existing modules. When a module is no longer needed, best practice is to archive the module.
Archiving a module keeps all historical data about the module and if the module is needed again at a later date, it can easily be restored.
WinPE modules can be filtered by the module name and category
