Vista’s Setup configuration passes for admins who deploy XP

Vista’s Setup configuration passes for admins who deploy XP.

If you are an administrator who is used to deploying Windows XP using standard deployment tools, it can be difficult learning how to transition these skills to deploying Vista. For example, if you are used to configuring unattend.txt files for deploying XP, which configuration pass in Vista’s unattend.xml file would you add these settings to? Here’s a quick guide to get you up to speed:

Unattend.txt and Sysprep.inf settings are now configured in either the generalize or specialize pass.
Winbom.ini FACTORY settings are configured in either the auditSystem or auditUser pass.
Winbom.ini WINPE settings are configured in the windowsPE pass.
Winbom.ini OOBE and Oobeinfo.ini settings are configured in the oobeSystem pass.
