Page 3: Windows Licensing Notice
Search www.microsoft.com for the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK). The WAIK autorun page contains links to the other Application Compatibility and Deployment toolkits. Windows Licensing Notice This document does not provide a license to create and/or distribute an operating system image. -
Page 4: Advantages Of A Common Image
Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) which can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center as a free download. SYSPREP (System preparation tool)—This is a Microsoft tool that prepares the operating system for imaging. This tool must be run before imaging a system and then deploying that image. -
Page 5: Choosing A Base Image
Choosing a Base Image As mentioned previously, it is recommended by HP to begin with the factory preinstalled image as a ―base‖ for the common image. If the file system type or the partition structure is not desirable, HP recommends that you still use the factory preinstalled image to build the common image. -

Page 10: Pooling The Drivers On The Reference Machine (Windows Xp)
The INF file for the driver should be at the root of the PNP driver directory (for example, the INF file for a video card should be placed in c:\compaq\video). Be sure to update the ―OEMPnpDriversPath‖ setting in SYSPREP.inf with any directories you add. -
Page 11: Supporting Setup.exe Installations
Supporting setup.exe installations If you cannot install a device using an .inf file, you may be forced to rely on setup.exe-based installation. You can either install these devices manually by running the associated setup program, or you can hook these programs to run automatically when the end-user unbundles the common image. - Page 12 ;Symbios 53C1010-33 pci\VEN_1000&DEV_0021 = c:\compaq\msd\oemsetup.inf ;Symbios 53C1000,53C1010- PCI\VEN_9005&DEV_801F = c:\compaq\msd\ADPU320.INF ;Adaptec AIC-7902 - Ultra320 PCI\VEN_9005&DEV_8011 = c:\compaq\msd\ADPU320.INF ;Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D - Ultra320 SCSI PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0621 = c:\compaq\msd\symmpi.inf ;LSI PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0622 = c:\compaq\msd\symmpi.inf ;LSI PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0624 = c:\compaq\msd\symmpi.inf ;LSI PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0030 = c:\compaq\msd\symmpi.inf ;LSI...

Page 14: Creating A Common Image For Windows Vista / Windows 7
Creating a Common Image for Windows Vista / Windows 7 This section specifically addresses Windows Vista / Windows 7 and focuses on assembling Plug and play drivers on the reference machine. These drivers may be identical or different for platforms in the same family. However, the following discussion will show one way of integrating the Plug and Play drivers into a common image that will make these drivers available to the respective platform on which it is installed. - Page 15 The SYSPREP.xml now needs to be created. It can be named anything you want with an .XML extension. SYSPREP.xml is created using the Windows System Image Manager (WSIM). WSIM is part of the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) which is available from the Microsoft download center. If you need to know how to use WSIM, see articles on Microsoft sites and related links on the web.
