Imaging Association Deletion, Enable and Disable

What

Existing imaging associations can be deleted, enabled, or disabled, depending on their current state.

When/Why

Deleting an association removes the link between an image and a device. Use it when you no longer want that device associated with the image, which helps prevent accidental imaging.

Enable and Disable toggle whether the association can be used. IVS automatically disables an association during imaging to help avoid re-imaging a device that was just imaged. You can manually enable the association again when you are ready to reuse it.

How

Before enabling an association for another imaging run, confirm that the image and drivers still match the target hardware and boot mode. Imaging can overwrite existing data; back up needed data and verify the target device’s Imaging MAC Address before starting. See Configure Windows Imaging Associations for image and driver selection.

In the Imaging view, review the image, target device, and driver selection for each association you intend to change. Select only those associations, check the selected count in the bottom action bar, then choose Delete, Enable, or Disable as appropriate.

Check the association change

Return to the association list and confirm that the intended row is absent after deletion, or shows the intended enabled/disabled state after a toggle. Use the All view and clear the search filter when checking a missing row so a filtered-out association is not mistaken for a deleted one.

If you need to assign an image again after deleting its association, follow Create Imaging Association. If you enabled an association to image the device again, continue with Deploy a Windows Image with FileWave IVS for the Model Update and IVS-download checks before PXE booting. An enabled association is not proof that the image has downloaded or that imaging has completed.
