WAIK and Windows xp

My question did not print correctly.
I wanted to ask if the WAIK tools are
strictly for deploying Vista images
or can it be used for deploying
windows xp images? if so, what files
do i substitute in the getting started document?
 
I am clueless. My boss asked me to download WAIK and use it to deploy xp
images.
Can you be more specific as to what tools I need for that.

Thank you.
 
Please forgive me but I have read just about everything on microsoft's
website today and am still truly confused. Tell me if I have this right,
to deploy windows xp and windows xp images I need to use a tool called
desktop deployment (which I am assuming is free)...
If I want to deploy vista or vista images I should use WAIK>

Please please pleaSe help me. I am drownding in this stuff : (
 
I'm not a expert on this, but will try to assist if possible.
For Windows Vista the deployment will be done true a image using Ximage and
not file install.
To be able to use that you have to use the tools to handle that from the
WAIK

XP is still a file install and for that you have to use partly a identical
tool.
Desktop deployment is in principe used for that you can use the WAIK for XP
also, but I have only used the XP OPK installation.

The OPK for XP is available as download and the needed files and samples are
included.
the info about the OPK is here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/chats/trans/sysbuild/05_0601_tn_sys.mspx

I'm sorry but that's about the help I can give for now.

Hello,
BDD uses different technologies to deploy different versions of Windows.
The technologies that work with Windows XP from the WAIK would be WDS and
Imagex
The unattended settings(XML based) and WSIM(Windows System Image Manager)
from the WAIK are limited to working with Windows Vista Deployments
For unattended settings and Setup Manager ( to create unattended files),
there is a deploy.cab on the WIndows XP CD. ( this may be included\used in
the BDD, I don't recall)

Sysprep for Windows XP ships in support.cab, there may be updates available
for download as well
Sysprep for Windows VIsta ships and installs as part of the OS.


Thanks,
