From time to time, it is needed to reimage windows workers as they fail to get into taskcluster for various reasons. Below is a step by step tutorial about how to do it.

  1. Check on https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IPTmppvqDw0PQV-O1LgXLJg_7TC-H_IAAnSxcur8c7I/edit?pli=1#gid=562893333 if the machine is loaned or not
  2. Go to last row called ilo ip:port in front of the machine you want to reimage and copy the ip and the port.
  3. Start HP iLo Integrated Remote Console app
