During the preinstallation and deployment process, you can configure and install Windows 2000 Professional and applications on new or existing computers OEM system builders preinstall Windows 2000 Professional and applications before delivering new equipment to customers The preinstallation process allows OEM system builders to test, configure, and brand the computer Preinstallation also controls the experience the customer has when turning on the computer for the first time For example, during initial startup, the customer only needs to accept the Microsoft End User License Agreement (EULA), enter the CD Key, and add user information
Information technology (IT) professionals deploy Windows 2000 Professional and applications to users within an organization or department IT specialists must also test and configure computers based on user needs Typically, these specialists deploy Windows 2000 Professional so that little or no user input is needed when users first log on
To preinstall and deploy Windows 2000 Professional on new or existing computers, use one or a combination of the following three methods:
Automate an installation of Windows 2000 Professional by using an answer file The answer file allows you to preinstall and deploy Windows 2000 Professional on new or existing computers that require the same or similar configurations
Create Windows Installer packages to deploy necessary or specified applications Windows Installer packages allow you to install applications
by using Windows 2000 Professional
Create and deploy an image of a configured installation, including the operating system, custom settings, and applications Images are useful for installing Windows 2000 Professional and applications on new or existing computers that share the same hardware configuration
Slide Objective
To introduce the methods
for preinstalling and
deploying Windows 2000
Professional
Lead-in
During the preinstallation
and deployment process,
you can install and configure
Windows 2000 Professional
and applications on multiple
computers

OEM
OEM or Reseller
User
OEM system builders preinstall Windows 2000 Professional on computers to control the experience the customer has when turning on the computer for the first time During initial startup, the customer must accept the Microsoft EULA and provide other user-specific information The OEM setup process for Windows 2000 Professional is performed by three separate parties: the OEM, the OEM or reseller, and the user
OEM
OEM system builders use the winnt or winnt32 command and a Windows
2000 Professional compact disc to copy Windows 2000 Professional installation files to a temporary folder on new computers Text-mode and graphical user interface (GUI)-mode Setup are run at this time This process also copies any other required files, such as drivers and application files, to the temporary folder
OEM or Reseller
The OEM or the reseller performs any additional configurations, such as preloading applications and installing hardware The OEM or the reseller then runs the Windows 2000 System Preparation Tool (Sysprep.exe) to return the registry to an initial startup state
User
The user provides the final information the first time the user logs on The Mini-Setup Wizard prompts the user to accept the EULA and enter the product identification number (PID) Then the wizard prompts the user to supply other user-specific information, such as computer name, time zone, video resolution, and passwords

Answer File
Uniqueness Database File
Uniqueness Database File
You automate an installation of Windows 2000 Professional by using an answer file An answer file supplies the settings that a user would otherwise need to provide during Setup This enables you to install Windows 2000 Professional
on multiple computers that have the same setup configuration The answer file also specifies how Setup interacts with the files on the network share during preinstallation
If the setup configurations on some computers differ, then you use a Uniqueness Database File (UDF) with an answer file A UDF provides unique settings for computers that require configurations different from those listed by the answer wizard Using a UDF with an answer file enables you to install Windows 2000 Professional on multiple computers that require different setup configurations
Slide Objective
To briefly describe
preinstalling and deploying
Windows 2000 Professional
by using an answer file
and UDF
Lead-in
By using an answer file and
a UDF, you can automate
an installation of
Windows 2000 Professional
on multiple computers
Use the slide illustration to
explain using an answer file
and a UDF
Explain how preinstalling or
deploying Windows 2000

Trang 9Business Problem
To keep up with customer demand, OEM system builders and organizations must be able to configure and install new computers as quickly and uniformly
as possible In contrast to automated installations, manually preinstalling Windows 2000 Professional on new computers may require:
Preinstalling the operating system and base software components on each new computer before delivery to the user
Sending technical support personnel to each site to manually install the operating system
Teaching users how to install and configure their own computers
Solution
Use an answer file to predefine an operating system configuration capable of automatically installing Windows 2000 Professional on new computers The answer file provides most of the answers to the Setup prompts (except customer-specific information), and then shuts down the computer When customers turn on their computers, GUI-mode Setup restarts Customers then complete Setup by responding to messages requesting registration and user identification information

Windows 2000 Professional and Application
Creating Windows Installer packages allows you to preconfigure an application, and then automatically install the configured application on a Windows 2000 Professional-based computer Because applications that run on earlier versions
of Windows do not include a Windows Installer package, you must create a Windows Installer package to deploy these applications on Windows 2000 Professional-based computers
To create a Windows Installer package, you repackage the application by first installing and configuring the application on a reference computer (also referred
to as a master computer) You then use a third-party repackaging tool supplied with Windows 2000 Professional to create a repackaged application After the application is repackaged, the package is stored on a software distribution point The package can then be preinstalled or deployed during an automated
installation of Windows 2000 Professional
Slide Objective
To briefly describe how a
preconfigured application
can be installed by
repackaging the application

Creating Windows Installer
packages is a way to
