Create a Deployment Package

These steps guide you through creating a Deployment Package for use with console-initiated deployments. For a detailed walkthrough, see the Console-Initiated Deployment article.
 

Create a Deployment Package 

1. Log in to the SmartDeploy Web Console and navigate to the Getting Started page. Then click Reimage Devices - > 5. Create Media - > Action

   

2. On the Welcome to the Media Wizard page, click Next.

   

3. Click Deployment package, and then click Next.
   
4. Select the Platform Packs for any model and OS to which you plan to deploy, and then click Next.
   Note: By default, all Platform Packs will be selected. It's important to leave selected the Platform Pack for any model that you may deploy to.
    

5. On the Answer Files page, select an answer file and click Next.

   
   Note: The Media Wizard will automatically detect when you select a Cloud-Connected Answer File and will upload the Deployment Package to your cloud storage provider when the wizard completes.  

6. On the Optional Components page, you can provide an Optional SmartPE Password. This is optional if you want to specify a password to prevent SmartDeploy from starting and deploying an image by an unauthorized user. Click Next.
   
7. On the Media Type page, select your preferred architecture for the boot image, and then click Next.
   
8. On the Deployment Package page, choose a name for the Deployment Package, and then click Next.
    
9. Click Finish to create the boot image.
