Create a scripted installation

The Create a Scripted Installation wizard guides you through the steps to define the scripted installation. The settings that you specify in the config.xml file must be compatible with the hardware. Windows only: If the hardware cannot handle the settings, the Windows installer causes the unattended scripted installation to fail.

Extract the ISO file of OS to its own directory, then upload that directory to the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance server as the source media using the Media Manager, and ensure that you re-cache the drivers.

1.	On the left navigation pane, click Deployments, then click Scripted Installations to display the Scripted Installations page.

2.	Select Choose Action > New.

Follow the steps provided by the Create a Scripted Installation wizard.

NOTE: Scripted installation deployments to UEFI-enabled devices require creating a UEFI partition using the Create UEFI Partitions pre-installation task and booting from a UEFI bootable FAT32 formatted USB flash device.

Next, using the wizard, upload an existing answer file (Windows) or preseed/kickstart file (Linux), or perform a server-based attended setup (Windows or Linux).
