– If you are building an Ultra-Portable Image or a Portable-Sysprep Image, you

can use application modules. The deployment and installation of the

applications modules are controlled by base maps.

– If you are building a Hardware-Specific Image, you cannot use application

modules in conjunction with that image. All applications must be part of the

Hardware-Specific Image.

v Device-driver modules: Each of these modules contains all of the components

associated with a specific device driver.

– If you are building an Ultra-Portable Image or a Portable-Sysprep Image, you

can use device-driver modules. The deployment and installation of the

device-driver modules are controlled by driver maps.

– If you are building a Hardware-Specific Image, you cannot use device-driver

modules in conjunction with that image. All device drivers must be part of

the Hardware-Specific Image.

During the deployment process, you choose which base map and which driver

map to deploy. This enables you to maintain device-driver modules and driver

maps independently of the operating-system and application content defined by

base maps.

In addition to modules, the ImageUltra Builder program enables you to create

containers in the repository. A container is a special type of module that enables

you to group other modules together under a single identifier. All modules in a

container must be of the same type. For example, you might want to group all of

the device drivers used for a specific machine type into a device-driver container.

Or, you might want to group a Windows 2000 base operating-system module with

all of its associated add-on modules into an operating-system container.

If you build an I386 base operating-system module, you might want to group the

I386 base operating-system module, the appropriate Primary Partition partitioning

module, the ImageUltra Customizations module, the Sysprep module, and the

UNATTEND.TXT module into a single operating-system container to ensure all

required components are kept together.

The use of containers is optional, but you might find containers helpful when

creating maps because you can simply insert the container module into your map

instead of inserting each individual module.

All maps and modules are stored in a repository. When the repository is viewed

through the ImageUltra Builder interface, the maps and modules are identified by

descriptive names. The actual file names are assigned by the ImageUltra Builder

program. The following is a list of file extensions used for the files in the

repository:

v .CRI: Metadata about the module. This information is used within the

ImageUltra Builder interface.

v .DMA: Driver maps

v .BMA: Base maps

v .IMZ: Compressed module source

v .WIM: ImageX file
