Creating the Production Deployment Share

The production deployment share will contain the applications, drivers, and custom images for deployment across the

organization and will share these components with the offline deployment share. The deployment production share and
offline deployment share will use the same apps, drivers, and images, so instead of duplicating effort, deployment
shares can be linked. To create the production deployment share follow the

Creating a Deployment Share section

outlined in Chapter 3

.

Customizing Rules for Automation

As with the reference deployment scenario outlined in

Chapter 4

, the deployment share will be customized by

configuring rules to bypass the prompts that are displayed by the Windows Deployment Wizard. As you may recall,
these rules are stored in the configuration files customsettings.ini and bootstrap.ini, which control the Windows
Deployment Wizard
and boot media respectively.

1. Expand the Deployment Shares tree in Deployment Workbench.
2. Right-click the production deployment share and select Properties.
3. Select the Rules tab.
