To

add

device

drivers

to

a

deployment

CD

or

USB

key,

do

the

following:

1.

Determine

where

the

device

driver

files

need

to

go

in

the

deployment

CD

or

USB

key.

For

example,

the

INI

file

needs

to

go

to

the

\WINDOWS\INF

directory,

and

the

device

driver

files

need

to

go

to

the

\WINDOWS\system32\drivers

directory.

2.

Create

a

drvs_vpe

directory

in

the

repository

share

directory.

For

example:

repositoryfilesshare\drvs_vpe\drivers\preboot\drivers

Note:

To

update

the

drivers

of

the

winpe.wim

file

in

the

deployment

CD

or

USB

key,

place

the

driver

files

in

the

repositoryfilesshare\drvs_vpe\wim\

drivers\windows\system32

directory.

To

deploy

an

image

through

distribution

media

rather

than

network

deployment,

create

a

directory

named

repositoryfilesshare\drivers\

update\minint\system32

and

place

the

driver

files

in

this

directory.

3.

To

separate

the

NIC

software,

you

need

to

create

a

folder

for

each

NIC

device

driver.

For

example:

repositoryfilesshare\drvs_vpe\drivers\preboot\drivers\Broadcom

4.

Place

the

driver

files

in

the

directory

created

in

Step

2.

This

ensures

the

files

are

imported

and

installed

in

the

Windows

Vista

WinPE

on

the

deployment

CD

or

USB

key.

Note:

Each

time

you

create

a

Network

Distribution

CD,

USB

key,

or

USB

hard

disk

drive,

the

process

will

automatically

retrieve

these

files

and

place

them

on

the

distribution

media.

Depending

on

the

type

of

the

removable-media

drives

available

on

the

target

computer,

you

use

either

the

CD,

USB

key,

or

USB

hard

disk

drive

to

establish

a

network

connection

between

the

target

computer

and

the

ImageUltra

module

repository.

After

the

connection

is

established,

you

select

which

base

map

and

driver

map

to

use.

All

of

the

modules

defined

in

the

map

are

downloaded

to

the

service

partition

or

HPA

of

the

target

computer,

and

the

target

computer

is

prepared

for

the

installation

process.

If

a

service

partition

or

HPA

does

not

exist

at

the

start

of

the

deployment

process,

one

is

created.

The

advantages

of

CD,

USB

key,

or

USB

hard

disk

drive

deployment

are

speed

and

the

flexibility

of

not

having

to

be

dependent

on

a

network

connection.

The

advantage

of

network

deployment

is

the

assurance

that

the

latest

maps

and

modules

will

be

installed

if

the

network-sync

function

is

enabled.

With

the

exception

of

a

direct-network

installation,

the

division

between

the

deployment

and

installation

is

a

single

boot

cycle.

In

many

cases,

deployment

is

done

in

one

location

and

installation

takes

place

in

another

location,

typically

at

the

end-user’s

work

area.

When

deployment

is

complete,

you

can

shut

down

the

target

computer

and

prepare

the

computer

for

delivery

to

the

end-user’s

work

location.

Note:

Some

large

enterprises

that

use

drive-duplication

technology

for

mass

production

might

want

to

replicate

the

drive

at

the

end

of

the

deployment

process,

prior

to

installation.

In

order

for

this

drive-duplication

process

to

work

successfully,

you

must

install

the

Boot

Manager

on

each

drive

after

the

drive

has

been

duplicated.

You

can

get

the

Boot

Manager

installation

tool

(BMGRINST.BAT)

from

the

TOOLS\BMGR

folder

of

your

repository.

You

must

run

BMGRINST.BAT

during

a

Windows

PE

session.
