12 Introduction
CAUTION: The best practices guidelines described in this document were
developed and tested on specific systems with specific hardware and software
configurations. As a result, the examples and instructions described in this guide
are not applicable to every environment. The open nature of the DTK utilities and
scripting methodology is designed to allow the flexibility to modify the examples,
procedures, and suggestions to best fit your specific environment. Using the DTK
examples without first making modifications based on your specific IT
environment is likely to result in failed deployments.
Information in this guide is distinctly divided for Windows PE and
embedded Linux. Even though the nature of topics covered for both
environments is similar, the contents are very different, and has been
organized into separate sections. This will enable the user to read only those
sections that are relevant. Content in this User’s Guide is organized as
documented in Table 1-1.
