simplifies

the

of

creating

distribution

CDs,

and

network-deployment

CDs.

v

Redesigned

Map

window:

The

Map

window

has

been

redesigned

so

you

can

select

and

manipulate

multiple

items

in

a

map.

v

Variable

support:

Support

for

variables

in

the

menu

system

has

been

added

to

allow

dynamic

flow

processing

and

increased

flexibility

based

on

user

responses

during

the

image-installation

process.

v

Enhanced

control

of

the

module-installation

sequence:

You

can

now

control

the

installation

sequence

and

execution

of

individual

modules.

v

Customized

behavior

for

a

module

in

a

map:

You

can

now

alter

the

behavior

of

a

common

module

on

a

map-by-map

basis

through

a

new

Customization

field.

v

Additional

menu-customization

capabilities:

You

now

have

better

control

over

the

appearance

and

behavior

of

the

installation

menus.

You

can

select

background

colors,

set

margins,

do

window

shadowing,

enable

and

disable

the

Ctrl+Alt+Del

key

sequence

while

menus

are

being

viewed,

define

text

to

be

in

the

specify

a

key

to

for

a

previous

menu,

define

a

that

takes

the

user

to

a

hidden

system

menu,

and

more.

v

Module

password

protection:

You

can

password

protect

modules

so

that

only

ImageUltra

Builder

processes

have

access

to

the

source

files

inside

of

a

module.

v

Custom

service-partition

size:

In

the

base

map,

you

can

now

specify

the

size

that

you

want

the

service

partition

to

be

after

the

image

has

been

deployed

and

installed.

This

feature

is

useful

to

streamline

the

Rapid

Restore

®

PC

installation

processes.

By

specifying

extra

room

in

the

service

partition,

you

can

eliminate

the

time

required

by

the

Rapid

Restore

installation

process

to

rearrange

data

and

resize

the

service

partition

to

accommodate

the

backup

files.

v

Support

for

the

Hidden

Protected

Area

(HPA):

Many

new

ThinkPad

®

and

ThinkCentre

®

computers

use

an

HPA

for

recovery

and

diagnostic

purposes

instead

of

the

service

partition

used

by

their

predecessors.

The

HPA

provides

increased

security,

protection,

and

recovery

capabilities.

The

ImageUltra

Builder

2.0

program

supports

importing

maps,

modules,

and

containers

from

an

HPA

and

sourcing

device-driver

modules

from

an

HPA

during

the

installation

process

when

a

driver

map

is

not

used.

The

import

and

deployment

support

for

service

partitions

also

remains.

v

Direct-network

installation

to

the

C

partition:

This

feature

enables

you

to

deploy

and

install

an

image

from

the

network

directly

to

the

C

partition

without

having

to

copy

the

maps

and

modules

to

a

service

partition.

Features

added

to

version

2.2

The

following

features

have

been

added

to

ImageUltra

Builder

version

2.2:

v

Enhancements

to

the

Deploy

Wizard:

You

can

now

use

the

Deploy

Wizard

to

create

distribution

discs

on

CD

or

DVD

media,

network-deployment

discs

on

CD

or

DVD

media,

and

ISO

images

without

third-party

CD-burning

software.

Another

new

feature

eliminates

the

need

to

create

a

network-deployment

diskette

before

you

create

a

network-deployment

CD.

In

addition,

you

can

optionally

set

a

static

IP

address

for

the

target

computer

instead

of

depending

on

one

being

assigned

by

a

DHCP

server.

v

Network-deployment

CDs

now

support

multiple

network

cards.

v

Enhanced

flexibility

in

sequencing

module

installation

order:

The

module

Options

tab

now

supports

up

to

9999

install

slots

for

greater

control

of

the

module-installation

sequence.
