Can anyone share their custom answer file that is used to automate the deployment process. This is the answer file that is in .xml format and is added using the Media Wizard. Thanks!
Wally
Hi Wally,
You can create your own answer file by proceeding through the deploy wizard. Here are some steps to create your own answer file which you can attach to your media:
1. Boot to SmartPE.
2. Click 'Deploy an Image'
3. Click 'Next" on the Welcome page.
4. Browse to your wim and give it a name and description
5. Select 'Next' to proceed to the 'Disk Options' page. (You might be prompted for a platform pack at this time, which you can browse to)
6. Select what you would like to do with the drives.
7. Select 'Next'
8. Enter Name and Organization.
9. Select 'Next' to proceed to enter your settings for Regional settings, Display settings, and Network settings pages.
*10. On the summary page of the deploy wizard, select 'EXPORT'. This is where your answer file is generated and you can save it anywhere on the network (Example: The computer you are creating the media with). This will save the settings you selected in the deploy wizard. You can now attach that file to your media in the media wizard
Let me know if you have any questions,
I plan to make this a small blog for the future!

Please be sure to check out our Getting Started Guide to learn more about SmartDeploy Enterprise. The guide has many useful tips and procedures that can help you along your deployment.
In this walkthrough you will create a new virtual reference computer. A virtual reference computer is a virtual machine used to create and maintain the master installation. You can use any of the supported virtualization platforms to create a virtual reference computer.
For the purposes of this walkthrough, we will create a new virtual reference computer using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007.
1. Click Start > All Programs > Microsoft Virtual PC to start the Virtual PC Console.
2. From the Virtual PC Console, click New to start the New Virtual Machine Wizard.
3. On the Welcome to the New Virtual Machine Wizard page, click Next.
4. On the Options page, select Create a virtual machine, then click Next.
5. On the Virtual Machine Name and Location page, specify a location on your workstation’s local hard disk where you would like to create the virtual machine. For this walkthrough we will be installing Windows Vista, so be sure to select a location that has at least 8 GB (gigabytes) of free disk space. To continue, click Next.
6. On the Operating System page, select Windows Vista, then click Next.
7. On the Memory page, select Using the recommended RAM, then click Next.
8. On the Virtual Hard Disk Options page, select A new virtual hard disk, then click Next.
9. On the Virtual Hard Disk Location page, leave the default values and click Next.
10. On the Completing the New Virtual Machine Wizard page, click Finish.
11. In the Virtual PC Console, select the new virtual machine you created
12. Click Start.
13. When the virtual machine starts, click CD > Capture ISO Image…
14. Browse to an ISO image of the Windows Vista product installation DVD.
15. When the message Press any key to boot from CD/DVD appears, do so.
16. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation of Windows Vista.
17. Once complete, shut down the virtual machine
This completes building the master installation.
Important: This walkthrough only covered installing the operating system, however a master installation typically contains applications and settings required by end users on a deployed computer.
You have now successfully created a virtual reference computer ready to be captured using SmartDeploy Enterprise! Feel free to ask any questions and we will be glad to help. Also feel free to check out our Getting Started Guide for more guides like this.
