14. 1 Understanding custom deployment

An administrator creates a set of deployment templates that meet the organization's needs and
assigns to each template a name that can be easily understood by a user.
The administrator creates bootable media or a PXE package containing the set of templates and
switches on the custom deployment mode.
Users that need to re-deploy their computers boot the computers from bootable media or PXE and
select the template by name from the boot menu. The deployment starts immediately and proceeds
independently on each computer.
