Listing 4.1: Specifying Additional Customizations in the customsettings.ini File.
Note: This guide does not outline every possible customization option in the customsettings.ini file. For more details
about what can be customized and the values that can be specified, refer to the MDT Toolkit Reference, available in the
MDT documentation. For more information about downloading MDT documentation, refer to the
Installing Deployment
Tools section of Chapter 3 .
The additional settings specified in Listing 4.1 are:

SkipBDDWelcome – Setting this value to YES bypasses the MDT Welcome Page when the Windows Deployment
Wizard is launched.

SkipUserData – Setting this value to YES bypasses the prompts to back up or restore user data.

UserDataLocation – Setting this value to NONE instructs MDT that user data should not be backed up. For more
information on backing up user data with this setting, see the
Migrating User Data section of Chapter 8 . This
setting is required when specifying YES for the SkipUserData rule.

SkipDomainMembership – This setting controls the prompts for domain or workgroup on the Computer Details
page of the Windows Deployment Wizard. When set to YES, the setting JoinWorkgroup or JoinDomain must
also be set to supply the information otherwise provided at the prompt.

SkipLocaleSelection – This setting controls the localization and language prompts on the Locale and Time page
of the Windows Deployment Wizard. When set to YES, the following settings must be configured to specify the
information otherwise provided at the prompt:
o KeyboardLocale
o UserLocale
o UILanguage

SkipTimeZone – This setting controls the prompt for time zone. When both the SkipTimeZone and
SkipLocaleSelection settings are set to YES, the Locale and Time page will be skipped. When set to YES, the
desired time zone must be specified with the setting TimeZoneName.

These settings are used to specify the credentials used by the Windows Deployment Wizard during
deployment:
o UserDomain
o UserID
o UserPassword

SkipFinalSummary – This setting determines whether a final summary will be displayed upon deployment
completion.
Note: The reference system, the computer that will be prepared with a base configuration before being captured to an
image for deployment to other computers, should not be joined to a domain to ensure that no group policies are
applied to the base environment. To ensure that systems deployed in the lab environment are not joined to the domain,
the JoinWorkgroup setting must be specified in the deployment share rules.
