Microsoft Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment Configuring the Computer Imaging System Configuration files All configuration information is saved in the following files: -General.xml. All configuration information (usernames, passwords, paths, etc.) not related to a specific build are stored in this file. -Builds.xml. Details about each build are stored in this file. -Actions.xml. All the commands that need to be executed during the image build process are defined in this file. Changes made in these files are automatically replicated to the appropriate files by Config.hta. Two additional files are also created as part of this process : -Settings.ini. This file contains the necessary information for connecting to the Unattend share for continuing the image build process. -Builds.opt. This file is used to display the drop-down list of image choices when booting from the Lab CD.
