There are several options available when installing Windows 2000 and XP. One of these, Remote Installation Services, allows installation by either a scripted or image installation. A scripted installation involves placing shared files on a network. Any computer that is hooked up to the network can connect to the location and start the installation from there. Scripts are used to select all the options and components needed. It’s like having a tech person in your cubicle, telling you which options to pick during the entire installation. In comparison, an image installation is a copy of a hard disk volume with an OS and preinstalled application software. The image can be stored on a cd or a network. The image is copied from the source to the local hard drive.
