  • Initial Software Stack with goal to try and meet GIR software needs
  • Windows Installation Steps with detailed documentation along the way
  • Windows Configuration (including WAUS, setting up Athena cluster printers, etc.)
  • Prepping VM for distribution (sysprep, compression, etc.)

...

  • 2.1 Initial SW Stack - List of software to install on the VM including for which course(s) it is needed, approximate number of students, installation size and software version. For software that has been identified as needed for the GIRs that is not included, reason for excluding should be provided. Some known reasons already or license restriction and installation size with small usage does not justify increasing the VM size sufficiently.
  • 2.2 Windows Installation Steps - Step by step documentation on how to create the base Windows XP VM to be used for the distribution.
  • 2.3 Windows Configuration Steps - Step by step documentation on how to configure the VM including printer configurations, driver inclusion, account setup, automatic updates, etc.
  • 2.4 VM Preparation Steps - Step by step documentation on how to setup VM for distribution. This is expect to include steps for using sysprep (especially around encrypting the XP product key), and VMware to package the VM for optimal delivery to students. Enabling ACE features will be considered in Step 3 - Enhancing the VM.
  • 2.5 Sample VM - a produced VM ready for testing that includes some, but not all of the software in the software stack for basic VM testing features.
  • 2.6 1st Experience Video - a video recording from VMware of what the students first boot experience is so that others can see what happens without having to experience it themselves.
