Files to transfer

This setting determines the list of files, such as installation files, to be transferred to all target machines after the deployment.

Each file must be located in a network folder. When adding the file, specify the credentials to the network folder.

The destination of each file must be on one of the volumes you are deploying.

To run the file after it is transferred, select the Run the file on target machines check box. The file will run when Windows first starts on the target machine.

Example

You want the target machines to use a particular Plug and Play device driver, such as a video adapter driver, so that Windows automatically recognizes the device at boot. In this case, do the following:

1. Create a network folder, such as \\server\share, and place the driver files to it. Driver files usually include an .inf file and a .sys file.
2. Specify both files in the Files to transfer setting, with the following paths in the Destination field:
   • For the .inf file: C:\Windows\inf
   • For the .sys file: C:\Windows\System32\drivers

   If the operating system in the master image resides on a different volume, change the drive letter in these paths accordingly.

During the deployment, the files are placed in the corresponding folders. When starting on the target machine, Windows discovers the new device and finds your driver for it.
