If
you
are
creating
an
Ultra-Portable
Image
using
an
I386
base
operating-system
module,
you
must
create
an
UNATTEND.TXT
in
Windows
XP
or
an
UNATTEND.XML
file
in
Windows
Vista
to
define
certain
user
information
and
control
the
operating-system
installation.
The
UNATTEND.TXT
and
UNATTEND.XML
files
are
answer
files
that
reside
in
the
I386
folder
and
contain
all
of
the
information
required
by
Windows
setup.
Although
you
can
use
the
User
Information
tab
in
the
base
maps
to
provide
some
of
this
information,
it
does
not
provide
all
of
the
fields
required
for
this
type
of
installation.
For
information
about
creating
or
modifying
UNATTEND.TXT
or
UNATTEND.XML
files,
use
the
following
resources:
v
The
Microsoft
Web
site
at
http://www.microsoft.com
.
Search
for
the
string
UNATTEND.TXT
or
UNATTEND.XML
.
v
Your
Windows
2000
installation
CD.
Locate
the
UNATTEND.DOC
file.
v
Your
Windows
XP
installation
CD.
Open
the
DEPLOY.CHM
file
located
in
the
DEPLOY.CAB
file.
After
you
create
your
UNATTEND.TXT
file
in
Windows
XP
or
UNATTEND.XML
file
in
Windows
Vista,
you
must
create
an
UNATTEND.TXT
or
UNATTEND.XML
module
and
include
it
in
your
base
map.
During
the
image-installation
process,
the
UNATTEND.TXT
or
UNATTEND.XML
module
replaces
the
UNATTEND.TXT
or
UNATTEND.XML
file
in
the
I386
folder
with
the
UNATTEND.TXT
or
UNATTEND.XML
file
you
created.
This
feature
enables
you
to
create
multiple
UNATTEND.TXT
or
UNATTEND.XML
files
that
can
be
associated
with
a
common
I386
base
operating-system
module.
Deploying
Smart
Images
to
target
computers
Important:
Before
deploying
a
Smart
Image
to
a
real
work
environment,
test
the
Smart
Image
to
ensure
that
it
works
as
expected.
You
can
deploy
Smart
Images
to
target
computers
using
either
of
two
methods:
v
Direct
deployment
from
Distribution
discs:
This
method
copies
all
modules
defined
in
the
selected
base
map
and
driver
map
to
a
set
of
recordable
CD
or
DVD
discs.
The
first
CD
of
the
set
is
bootable.
When
started
in
the
target
computer,
the
deployment
program
on
the
disc
copies
the
modules
from
the
discs
to
the
service
partition
and
prepares
the
target
computer
for
the
installation
process.
If
a
service
partition
does
not
exist
at
the
start
of
the
deployment
process,
one
is
created.
You
use
the
ImageUltra
Builder
Deploy
Wizard
to
create
a
set
of
stand-alone
Distribution
discs.
Based
on
your
responses,
the
Deploy
Wizard
prompts
you
through
the
steps
required
to
create
the
discs.
Typical
steps
include
the
following:
