Specifying the deployment type

In the third wizard window you need to select which type of deployment is to be executed. The following types of OS deployment are available:

• 
  
  • Setup Mode
     Using the setup mode allows you to execute a regular installation of the operating system on the remote devices or targets via the operating system's setup executable file. The use of an unattended file makes the installation silent and automatic. This is also the preselected option.
  • WIM Image Mode
     The WIM mode allows you to deploy the new operating systems or images of other non-booting disks to the targets via a WIM image, that is either delivered on the operating system disk or via a custom created WIM image. This mode can only be used if the target hardware is compatible to the hardware of the source device.
  • Custom Mode
     This mode allows you to use other applications with which snapshots of existing installations can be created and then be "duplicated" on other devices, such as for example ghost images.
• WIM Image Capture
   The WIM capture mode allows you to create your own WIM images to be deployed via the WIM mode within your network. You can also use this mode create images of other, non-booting disks, such as drives that contain only applications or data and deploy these via the WIM mode to other devices within your infrastructure.
