WorkSpace On-Demand 2.0 Feature for Windows ... - IBM Redbooks

the operating system install program. These devices must have the default
drivers that are shipped with the operating system.
For new OEM devices that are not part of the base operating system
package, the response file has to be modified by hand by the system
administrator. A sample response file and cook-book instructions are shipped
with this product to give some guidance to the administrators in customizing
new devices and their device drivers. The administrator is primarily pointed to
Microsoft resources (for example, Windows NT Resource Kit, Microsoft
on-line knowledge base on the Web, and so on) for additional information on
how to customize response files. More information on this topic can be found
in Section 5.4, “Machine classes and response files” on page 155.
2.4.4 Additional boot process options
While still in its installation boot phase, there is an option the administrator
can use to install additional features to the clients.
By adding lines to an installation script, and placing the installable code in the
proper directory structure, these features are going to be installed
automatically. The features can include IBM’s Java Virtual Machine (JVM) or
the Tivoli Management Agent (TMA) that both ship with the Feature for
Windows Clients. This can also be any Fixpack available for the operating
systems.
Detailed information on how to customize these installation scripts as well as
the proper positioning of the subdirectory structure can be found in Section
5.4, “Machine classes and response files” on page 155.
2.5 The user environment
The OS/2 Warp Server user data structures have not been changed in this
product. Neither the NET.ACC, or DCDB, that is used to store user data has
been changed. Instead, the Feature for Windows Clients makes use of the
IBM Logon Client to access additional user information and procedures to
implement many of the required functions.
The Feature for Windows Clients Logon Client is based on code developed
for the IBM Network Clients. The Logon Client for the Feature for Windows
Clients Windows 9x and Windows NT clients has been modified to account for
unattended installation, changes to the locations accessed for files, and
Windows registry updates that must be executed at the Windows client
platform.
