* The sample scripts are provided as examples for customers who want
to develop their own deployment process. Some customers may find
that the scripts work well in their environment, while some
customers may need to develop their own scripts entirely from
scratch. Customers deploying multiple systems need to provide
unique information for each server when appropriate. For example,
system host names, IP addresses, and system service tags need to
be unique for each system. The batch scripts and configuration files
need to be modified to reflect the unique information for each
system being deployed. Many options are available to optimize this
process.
* Installation of Dell utility partition is not supported on
Windows PE 2.0 and Windows PE 3.0.

TOOLS NOTES
======================================================================
* SYSCFG:
- Some options may not be present on all systems, which may
be due to the BIOS version or hardware feature set. The usage
information generated by running SYSCFG without arguments shows
only those options that are valid for your system.
- The "--devseq" option is present only if you have an
available, bootable hard-disk partition. If this option is
present in the configuration file, but not present on your
system, you will receive a usage error.
- It is recommended to perform a warm reboot after applying the
syscfg settings changes.
- If you perform operations that change the "--redmem"
option, reboot your system immediately. This is applicable
to both command-line and "--infile" usage.
NOTE: The "--redmem" option should not be issued
with any other command and should be immediately followed
by a system reboot. This note is important when you
develop scripts that can alter the "--redmem" setting.
==========================
- For options that use text strings such as username,
password, hostname, and community string, using characters
such as <space>, "<," ">," "|," "=" on the command line can be
misinterpreted by the command line parser and may cause errors.
Use only alphanumeric characters to avoid these errors.
- If you set the username using the syscfg "username" option,
