Enable Microsoft Sysprep Support. Select this option to enable Microsoft
Sysprep support and click Next. You must specify the location of the Microsoft

the Deployment Agent to computers running Windows operating systems.
Install add-ons to provision server hardware. Select this option to install
OEM add-ons for servers.

running Deployment Agents configured for your Deployment Server.
Note
Antivirus applications can delete service .EXE files or can disable services.
Example: When you run the Deployment Server Win32 Console, the “Unable to connect
to the Altiris Deployment Server DS Management Server. Please ensure this service is
started and running currently.” error appears. This occurs because the service files are
deleted by the antivirus application during scanning. To resolve this issue, disable the
antivirus software and reinstall the Deployment Server.
Component install
The component install option lets you add selected Deployment Server Components —
Deployment Console, Deployment Web Console, PXE Server, and Deployment Agents to
the existing Deployment Share. You can also add Microsoft Sysprep files.
See Deployment Server components on page 335.
