Fully Automated LTI Deployment
The main purpose of LTI is to automate the deployment process as much as possible. While ZTI provides full deployment automation using the BDD 2007 scripts, the SMS 2003 OSD Feature Pack, and Microsoft Windows Deployment Services (Windows DS), LTI is designed to work with fewer infrastructure requirements.
The Windows Deployment Wizard used in the LTI deployment process can be automated to reduce (or eliminate) the wizard pages that are displayed. You can skip the entire Windows Deployment Wizard by specifying the SkipWizard property in CustomSettings.ini. To skip individual wizard pages, use the following properties:
SkipAdminPassword
SkipApplications
SkipAppsOnUpgrade
SkipBDDWelcome
SkipBitLocker
SkipBitLockerDetails
SkipBuild
SkipCapture
SkipComputerBackup
SkipComputerName
SkipDeploymentType
SkipDomainMembership
SkipFinalSummary
SkipLocaleSelection
SkipPackageDisplay
SkipProductKey
SkipSummary
SkipTimeZone
SkipUserData
For more information on these individual properties, see the corresponding property in Configuration Reference.
For each wizard page that you skip, provide the values for the corresponding properties that are normally collected through the wizard page in the CustomSettings.ini and BootStrap.ini files. For more information on the properties that you need to configure in the CustomSettings.ini and BootStrap.ini files, see “Providing Properties for Skipped Windows Deployment Wizard Pages” in Configuration Reference.

Fully Automated LTI Deployment for Upgrade Computer Scenario
Listing 27 illustrates a CustomSettings.ini file used for an Upgrade Computer scenario to skip all Windows Deployment Wizard pages. In this sample, the SkipWizard property is used to skip all the Windows Deployment Wizard pages. The properties that follow the SkipWizard property are required by the LTI process to complete the upgrade.
Note The property that is used to skip the wizard pages is bolded in the listing.
