Figure 2-18 Finishing the unattended profile creation wizard

The above steps has now resulted in a profile for an unattended installation of Windows XP professional with Service Pack 2 integrated.

2.3 Adding drivers

In the point-of-sale environment the chances of having different types of hardware to deploy to is very high. In our case we had four different types of SurePOS systems, each requiring a different set of drivers. We found that it was critical to inject the proper system board drivers at a minimum during the installation process in order for the system to be usable after installation. This section will go through the process of importing a driver into the TPM for OS Deployment file repository and associating it with the proper type of device.

Note: This procedure works only for PnP drivers. If you want to make an image with additional Mass-storage drivers then there is a Technote documenting the procedure. To find the Technote, search the Tivoli support site for incident 1260552.
