Part II
Booting Computers to Automation
Deployment Solution
Deployment Solution has the ability to perform work on computers before the normal
operating system loads. To do this, a managed computer is booted into an environment
where it can communicate with your Deployment Server to perform tasks.
This preboot environment is called automation. In order to perform image capture and
deployment, scripted installs, or execute certain scripts, you must implement a way to
boot computers into this environment.
This section provides the information you need to configure a boot method, including
PXE, and select an operating environment for automation tasks.
