Deploying Disk Images

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

The final step in your imaged-based installation, shown in Figure 3.9, is to deploy disk images. To deploy disk images, implement the procedures or tasks described in your user state migration plan (if you have one). Then, start the destination computer by using your startup media, and implement the procedures or tasks described in your disk configuration plan (if you have one). When you are finished implementing your disk configuration plan, use your disk-imaging program to copy the disk image to the destination computer, and then shut down the destination computer. Finally, if you are not using Factory mode to configure the destination computer, deliver the destination computer to the end user. If you are using Factory mode, start the computer, let Factory mode perform the configuration tasks specified in Winbom.ini, and then deliver the computer to the end user.
