Preinstallation
setup
To
accomplish
preinstallation
setup,
you
can
use
the
Base
Software
Administrator
program
to
create
personalization
files.
A
personalization
file
has
the
file
extension
of
.per
and
contains
information
needed
to
automate
the
preinstallation
setup
for
Windows.
The
recovery
process
reads
the
personalization
file,
extracts
the
data
from
the
personalization
file
and
places
the
data
in
the
correct
Windows
control
files.
You
can
save
time
and
effort
by
using
the
Base
Software
Administrator
program
to
customize
personalization
files
and
then
deploying
those
personalization
files
onto
user
computers.
For
example,
you
can
create
a
personalization
file
to
set
the
Time
Zone
for
Windows
and
then
deploy
that
personalization
file
to
a
users
computer;
therefore,
a
user
will
not
have
to
manually
validate
the
Time
Zone
settings.
