Chapter 3. Mass-Distributions

In this chapter we cover the typical mass distribution scenarios. We take a base point-of-sale system that we deployed with the unattended profile in previous chapter, and go through the steps for creating a cloning profile based on that unattended installation for mass distribution to a greater population of point-of-sale devices. The topics we cover include.

￿Preparing a system for being captured

￿Capturing the image and creating the cloning profile

￿Adding additional drivers and creating rules for different hardware types

￿Deploying the cloning profiles
