Changing the Auto Answer Files with Windows System Image Manager

The auto answer files of the Windows VISTA, Windows 2008 or Higher Versions OS types can be modified with the Microsoft Windows System Image Manager.

After creating the OSIM OS image with “createOSImage” and before it is registered with “registerOSImage”, the auto answer file can be modified.

The auto answer files of the created OSIM OS images are stored in the OS image store in

C:\program files\CA\DSM\server\SDBS\var\managedpc\camenu\<imagename>.inf

The picture below shows the OSIM auto answer file of Win2008x64 with included OSIM OS install parameters.
