Q: How can I bypass the Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) Welcome screen when using the BDD to deploy OSs?

A. By default, the BDD displays a welcome screen during the deployment process when the client connects to the deployment point. You can bypass this screen by placing the SkipBDDWelcome switch in the bootstrap.ini file (instead of the regular CustomSettings.ini), as the following example shows:

[Settings]
Priority=Default

[Default]
DeployRoot=\\SAVDALDC01\Distribution$
SkipBDDWelcome=YES
UserDomain=Savilltech
UserID=DeployMe
UserPassword=Password
KeyboardLocale=0409:000000409
