Windows Automated Installation Kit
The new tool, the Windows Automated Installation
Kit (WAIK), will be included in Windows Vista, which is expected to be
available toward the end of 2006.
According to Greg Sullivan, a group product
manager in the Windows Client Division at Microsoft, the tool is
designed to help corporate IT professionals deploy Windows on new
hardware. It also will help original equipment manufacturers and system
builders deploy Windows on PCs they sell to customers, he says.
The user documentation for the version of WAIK that is included in beta 1 of Windows Vista is available online.
