Lenovo ThinkPad SL300 - Manual (Page 11)

• Customized behavior for a module in a map: You can now alter the behavior of a common module on a
map-by-map basis through a new Customization field.
• Additional menu-customization capabilities: You now have better control over the appearance and
behavior of the installation menus. You can select background colors, set margins, do window shadowing,
enable and disable the Ctrl+Alt+Del key sequence while menus are being viewed, define text to be used in
the status line, specify a key to exit the current menu, define a key for returning to a previous menu, define
a keyword that takes the user to a hidden system menu, and more.
• Module password protection: You can password protect modules so that only ImageUltra Builder
processes have access to the source files inside of a module.
• Custom service-partition size: In the base map, you can now specify the size that you want the service
partition to be after the image has been deployed and installed. This feature is useful to streamline the
Rapid Restore® PC installation processes. By specifying extra room in the service partition, you can
eliminate the time required by the Rapid Restore installation process to rearrange data and resize the
service partition to accommodate the backup files.
• Support for the Hidden Protected Area (HPA): Many new ThinkPad® and ThinkCentre® computers use an
HPA for recovery and diagnostic purposes instead of the service partition used by their predecessors.
The HPA provides increased security, protection, and recovery capabilities. The ImageUltra Builder 2.0
program supports importing maps, modules, and containers from an HPA and sourcing device-driver
modules from an HPA during the installation process when a driver map is not used. The import and
deployment support for service partitions also remains.
• Direct-network installation to the C partition: This feature enables you to deploy and install an image from
the network directly to the C partition without having to copy the maps and modules to a service partition.
Features added to version 2.2
The following features have been added to ImageUltra Builder version 2.2:
• Enhancements to the Deploy Wizard: You can now use the Deploy Wizard to create distribution discs on
CD or DVD media, network-deployment discs on CD or DVD media, and ISO images without third-party
CD-burning software. Another new feature eliminates the need to create a network-deployment diskette
before you create a network-deployment CD. In addition, you can optionally set a static IP address for the
target computer instead of depending on one being assigned by a DHCP server.
• Network-deployment CDs now support multiple network cards.
• Enhanced flexibility in sequencing module installation order: The module Options tab now supports up to
9999 install slots for greater control of the module-installation sequence.
• New module templates: Templates are provided for the new I386 module and the unattend.txt module.
These templates are in-built modules that can be modified, imported, or exported. Or if you prefer, you
can create your own template modules.
• Enhanced flexibility in maps: You can now create menu items that exclude modules that were added to
the installation list by previous menu selections.
• Enhanced debugging capabilities: A log is now created on the target computer during the deployment
process that indicates when a module installation process is started and completed as well as the result
of the filter expressions used in the menu items.
Features added to version 3.0
ImageUltra Builder 3.0 has implemented significant changes on how base maps are displayed at the target
computer during deployment. These changes are a result of ImageUltra Builder 3.0 using the Windows
Preinstallation Environment (PE) as its deployment environment instead of the DOS operating system used
by previous versions. Under DOS, a base map was displayed to users in full-screen, console-like mode.
Now, through Windows PE, base maps are presented to users within an actual window.
