– Creating a Network Distribution CD
– Selecting the base map and driver map to be used
– Selecting the location of your recordable CD or DVD drive where the CD files
are to be stored
After all required questions have been answered, the Deploy Wizard uses its
integrated disc-recording software to create your Distribution disc set.
You can also use the Deploy Wizard to do the following:
– Create ISO images that can be stored or made available to other locations
electronically.
– Record discs from previously stored ISO images
– Copy raw files to folders so discs can be created using the third-party
disc-burning software of your choice
v Standard network deployment (network-deployment with local installation): You
use the ImageUltra Builder Deploy Wizard to create ImageUltra Builder
Distribution Media (Distribution CDs, USB keys, or USB hard disk drives). Based
on your responses, the Deploy Wizard prompts you through the steps required
for creating the CD, USB key, or USB hard disk drive. Typical information
required to create the CD, USB key, or USB hard disk drive includes the
following:
– Path to the repository
– IP address (optional)
– User name
– Password (if required)
– Language and keyboard layout
– Keywords (allows only those maps with matching keywords to be selected
from the repository)
– Location of the drive where the media is to be recorded
Note: Providing User name and password information on the distribution media
(CD, USB key, or USB hard disk drive) is optional. If you do not provide
a user name and password when you create the distribution media, the
person controlling the deployment process will be prompted for this
information (if it is required to access the network) when the distribution
media is started at the target computer. If you do provide a user name
and password when you create the distribution media, it is stored in an
encrypted format on the distribution media.
In most cases, if you choose to make a CD you will use the disc-recording
software that is integrated into the ImageUltra Deploy Wizard and the default
network device drivers provided by the ImageUltra Builder program. However,
in some cases, you might have a need to create a customized Network Distribution
disc with special network device drivers. The ImageUltra Deploy Wizard
provides accommodations to make a customized Network Distribution disc. You can
use the Deploy Wizard to create a Network Distribution CD first and modify the
device drivers on it, or make your own boot CD with customized drivers. Then,
you use your disc-recording software of choice to create the CD using the
custom Network Distribution CD as source.
Note: Because this CD is bootable, make sure you follow the instructions in the
Deploy Wizard or ImageUltra Builder help system for creating a custom
Network Distribution disc.
