PROVISIONING TOOL
The IronKey Workspace Provisioning Tool significantly speeds up the deployment of IronKey Workspace
W500 devices. The Provisioning Tool allows you to install a Windows To Go image on multiple devices at the
same time. You control what is installed using provisioning profiles. When you provision devices, the profile
elements, including the WTG image, are loaded on the devices.
IronKey Workspace Provisioning Tool
This guide describes the steps required to set up the Provisioning Tool, set up profiles, and provision devices.
Once you have provisioned the devices, you are ready to issue them to users.
