Initial Deployment is a default job designed to help in the process of setting up
computers that do not exist in the Deployment Database. Initial Deployment lets you
define how computers are initially set up after being identified by the Deployment
Server.
You can define various computer configuration sets and deployment jobs for the user
during startup, letting the user select the computer settings and hard disk images,
software, and personality settings for their specific needs and environment. New
computers appear in the New Computers group in the Computers pane of the
Deployment Console.
