Adding an OS license
Before you use Sysprep with a Deployment job or task, you need to select the OS
and the corresponding OS license for the job. This information must be configured
before the job is created.
See “About Sysprep imaging” on page 32.
The OS Licenses list stores the Volume License Keys (VLKs) that deploy the
Sysprep-enabled images.
See “Configuring deployment and migration settings” on page 29.
See “Using Deployment Solution” on page 13.

Settings.

In the left pane, expand the Settings > Deployment and Migration folders.
3

4 In the right pane, click Add.

8 Click OK.
Your new license displays in the OS Licenses list.
Creating a PXE preboot image
The Preboot Configuration page lets you add a new policy for a preboot
configuration. After you have a configuration, you can use it to create a PXE image.
Tasks can then access and use that specific preboot configuration-based image.The
preboot configuration can also be used to create preboot installation files.
See “About PXE” on page 24.
This process also creates a resource that can be used to reboot to a task. You can
also use the resource to reboot to any job that requires you to reboot to PXE.
If the preboot policy is enabled, the server starts building the PXE image after the
server requests an updated configuration.
See “Configuring deployment and migration settings” on page 29.
