Network deployment This method uses a bootable, DOS-based diskette or CD to establish a network connection between the target computer and the ImageUltra Builder module repository. Once the connection is established, you select which base map and driver map to use. Depending on your base-map settings, one of the following occurs: ► If you specified a direct network installation, a temporary network-staging folder is created on the network specifically for the target computer. The maps are copied to this folder and all modules that control the installation procedure are unpacked to this folder. When the installation process begins, the hard disk is prepared and all modules required for the image content are obtained from the repository and unpacked dynamically as they are needed. A direct-network installation requires a network connection throughout the deployment and installation process. ► If you specified a network deployment with local installation, all of the modules defined in the map are downloaded to the service partition of the target computer, and the target computer is prepared for the installation process. If a service partition does not exist at the start of the deployment process, one is created (for more information about service partitions, see the ImageUltra Builder Version 2.0 User Guide). For direct network deployment (network deployment with local installation), you use the ImageUltra Builder Deploy Wizard to create either an ImageUltra Builder Network Deployment Diskette or an ImageUltra Builder Network Deployment CD. Based on your responses, the Deploy Wizard prompts you through the steps required to create the diskette or CD. Note: Providing user name and password information on the deployment media (diskette or CD) is optional. If you do not provide a user name and password when you create the deployment media, the person controlling the deployment process will be prompted for this information (if it is required to access the network) when the deployment media is started on the target computer. If you do provide a user name and password when you create the deployment media, it is stored in a flat text format on the deployment media, not in a secure format. If you choose to make a CD, create the diskette first, and then use the CD-RW software of your choice to create the CD from the diskette. Because this CD is bootable, make sure you follow the instructions in the Deploy Wizard or ImageUltra Builder help system for creating a Network Deployment CD. Depending on the type of removable-media drive available at the target computer, use either the diskette or CD to establish a network connection between the target computer and the ImageUltra module repository. After the connection is established, select which base map and driver map to use. All of the modules defined in the map are downloaded to the service partition or HPA of the target computer, and the target computer is prepared for the installation process. If a service partition or HPA does not exist at the start of the deployment process, one is created. The following illustration shows a direct-network installation, which uses a network-staging folder as a staging area. 90 ThinkVantage Technologies: Using ImageUltra Builder

The person controlling the direct-network installation starts the process by booting the target computer with an ImageUltra Builder Deployment CD or ImageUltra Builder Deployment diskette, and then selects the required maps from the repository. 2. A network-staging folder is created specifically for the target computer. The selected maps and a limited number of modules (only those required to control the installation process) are copied to the network-staging folder, which acts as a staging area for the installation process. 3. The person controlling the direct-network installation makes selections from the installation menus to define the image to be installed. 4. The modules required for the defined image are obtained directly from the repository and copied over the network to target computer C partition and the setup process begins. 5. When setup is complete, the C partition contains the new image. Note: Optionally, if a developer of the image specified that a service partition is to be created for client-side recovery purposes, the maps and modules are also copied to a service partition. Network deployment process with local installation The following illustration shows the standard network deployment process with local installation. Notice that the service partition is used as the staging area for all maps and modules required for the Smart Image. Chapter 1. ImageUltra Builder 91
