Integrating Thin Installer with ImageUltra Builder (IUB)
This is the ideal way to deploy common drivers and applications during an image
rollout. The system administrator maintains one central repository and one image
for different types of systems. To learn more about ImageUltra Builder, go to the
following Web site:
1.
Create a network shared repository and install Thin Installer. Refer to “Creating
repository folders” on page 65 on how to create a network shared repository.
2.
Create a batch file to run the Thin Installer executable file from the network
share drive.
3.
Create an ImageUltra Builder module, audit boot type, and use the above batch
file.
4.
Add the module to the ImageUltra Builder Base Map.
5.
Deploy the image and Thin Installer will install the drivers and applications on
the client system.
Note:
v
Network drivers still need to be installed before Thin Installer can access the
network shared repository.
v
Some drivers may require installing using ImageUltra Builder.
The other option is to build the ImageUltra Builder module, audit boot type, use
update packages and Thin Installer and deploy with the image. In this case,
update packages will be run locally instead of from the repository.
Integrating Thin Installer with a Sysprep Image
This scenario is same as integrating Thin Installer with ImageUltra Builder except
that image is rolled out without using ImageUltra Builder.
1.
Create a network shared repository and install Thin Installer. Refer to “Creating
repository folders” on page 65 on how to create a network shared repository.
2.
Create a batch file to run the Thin Installer executable file from the network
share drive.
3.
Deploy the image and Thin Installer will install the drivers and applications on
the client system.
