Scenario 3: Installing using the integrated Windows Vista SP1 DVD
For RC1 version of SP1, the integrated version is available as an .iso file. Once you download the file, you can burn it to a DVD or apply it to a virtual machine.
When SP1 is released, SP1 will be added to the Windows Vista DVD. At that time, you can use this DVD to deploy the integrated operating system to your computers.
Large-scale scenarios
The following scenarios are applicable to businesses that want to deploy SP1 to multiple computers and/or want to deploy custom images. If you have custom Windows Vista images that you want to update, you can use the Windows Vista SP1 integrated DVD to recreate the custom images to include SP1 (Scenario 6). Optionally, you can boot the Windows image, apply the service pack, and then recapture the image (Scenario 7). You will need to obtain the latest version of the Windows OPK, or Windows AIK.
Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) 2007 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=95464) is the recommended methodology and solution to help you deploy Windows Vista. BDD 2007 can help you build custom images and deploy Windows Vista remotely. You can also use BDD for zero touch deployments using SMS and SCCM. A prerelease version of BDD will be available to support the RC1 version of SP1. Until then, you can use the latest version of Windows OPK or Windows AIK to initiate your deployments.
