Remove Automation Partition

Deployment Solution
This feature lets you remove an automation partition from a client computer's hard disk.
You can create bootable CDs, flash drives, and floppy disks to use manually at the client
computers, or you can create a Windows uninstall package that can be distributed to a
client computer through a deployment job. You can also create a network boot disk,
connect to a specific server where the Windows uninstall package is stored, and run the
executable from the client computer.
