Install Windows XP Professional. ! Run the Setup Manager Wizard and create an answer file to automate an installation of Windows XP Professional. ! Transfer user files and settings to a new computer. ! Create and deploy an image. To teach this module, you require the following materials: ! Microsoft PowerPoint® file 2285A_01.ppt. ! Module 1 multimedia, The Microsoft Windows XP Professional Installation Guide. It is recommended that you use PowerPoint 2002 or later to display the slides for this course.

Complete the practices and the lab. ! Read all of the materials listed under “Additional reading” in this module. Presentation: 60 minutes Lab: 15 minutes Required materials Important Preparation tasks iv Module 1: Installing Windows XP Professional How to Teach This Module This section contains information that will help you to teach this module. For some topics in this module, references to additional information appear in notes at the end of the topic. Read the additional information in preparing to teach the module. During class, ensure that students are aware of the additional information. Most of the students attending this course have already installed a Windows operating system. This module is therefore designed as a high-level review of the information that students must know to perform a manual or automated installation of Windows XP Professional. Modules 1 and 2 of Course: e2272, Implementing and Supporting Microsoft Windows XP Professional, are included in the Appendix of the Student Materials Compact Disc. Students can use the e-learning modules for more detailed and additional information, and as a review to prepare for exam 70-210 or exam 70-270. Review the modules from the e-learning course in preparing to teach this module. You also may use the modules to create a blended-learning strategy for this content. Depending on the level of the students, you can: ! Make the modules a course prerequisite, which gives you the option not to teach this module. ! Use the modules to supplement course materials in the classroom. ! Position the modules to students as supplemental material outside the classroom. Module 1: Installing Windows XP Professional v Lesson: Manually Installing Windows XP Professional This lesson describes the instructional methods for teaching the following topics. For this demonstration, open the guide and show students where they can find additional information. For example, navigate through the topic, “Planning an Installation of Microsoft Windows XP Professional,” and use the topic, “Troubleshooting Failed Installations,” to show students material that is not presented in this module. Answer any questions that students have, and make sure that they know where to find the guide on the Student Materials compact disc. In this topic, present the issues that students must consider before they install Windows XP Professional. Emphasize that although Windows XP Professional can run on a computer that meets the minimum requirements, it will run more efficiently on a computer that has the recommended system levels. In this topic, describe how to install Windows XP Professional from a compact disc or from a server connected to a network. Emphasize the use of strong passwords. For more information about creating strong passwords, see the Microsoft Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/using/ productdoc/en/default.asp?url=/windowsxp/home/using/productdoc/en/ windows_password_tips. In this topic, emphasize that failing to activate Windows XP Professional renders the computer unusable. The computer will remain unusable until the student activates the operating system. Lesson: Automating a Windows XP Professional Installation This lesson describes the instructional methods for teaching the following topics. In this topic, introduce the two types of files that are used to automate an installation of Windows XP Professional: answer files and Uniqueness Database Files (UDFs). The animation in this lesson will describe answer files and UDFs in detail. To prepare for this topic, review the material in Modules 1 and 2 of Course: e2272, Implementing and Supporting Microsoft Windows XP Professional. In this topic, explain that using the Setup Manager Wizard is the easiest way to create an answer file. Students will use the wizard in a practice later in the lesson. This animation, which is approximately five minutes in duration, illustrates how Setup uses answer files and UDFs. Explain to students that the table in the Workbook describes scenarios and outcomes that are described in the animation.

How to Use the Setup Mana g er Wizard Multimedia: How Setup Uses Answer Files and UDFs vi Module 1: Installing Windows XP Professional Lesson: Transferring User Files and Settings to a New Computer This lesson describes the instructional methods for teaching the following topics. In this topic, describe two tools, the Files and Settings Transfer (FAST) Wizard and the User State Migration Tool (USMT), which you can deploy to transfer user files and settings. The rest of the lesson focuses on the USMT. Explain to students the circumstances under which you would use each tool, but do not spend too much time on the FAST Wizard. Discuss the advantages of using the USMT, and then review the contents of one or more .inf files with the students. In this topic, present the tools and files in the USMT that you can use to transfer user files and settings. Review the additional material to prepare for this topic. Explain to students that the USMT process has two parts: scanning the source computer and loading the destination computer. Discuss the syntax for INF scripts. Lesson: Using an Image to Install Windows XP Professional This lesson describes the instructional methods for teaching the following topics. In this topic, introduce the concept of an image. Explain that creating an image is like taking a picture of a configured computer and preserving all the configuration settings of the computer. When you deploy the image, you superimpose that picture on other computers. Emphasize the difference between automating a setup and creating and deploying an image. In this topic, present the six steps to create and deploy an image. The slide associated with this topic is a six-part animated slide. Review the steps in the topic so that you can describe the tasks as you navigate the animated slide. Assessment This module has assessment questions for each lesson, which are located on the Student Materials compact disc. You can use them as pre-instruction assessments to help students identify areas of difficulty, or as post-instruction assessments to validate learning. Consider using assessment questions to reinforce learning at the end of the day. You can also use them at the beginning of the day as a review of the information that you taught on the previous day. What Are the Ways to Transfer Files and Settin g s? How the USMT Works What Is an Image? How to Create and Deplo y an Ima g e Module 1: Installing Windows XP Professional vii Lab: Installing Windows XP Professional This lab is a simulation. Start the simulation on the instructor computer. Point out that students must click Yes if the message box appears. When the Lab Activity window opens, students can click anywhere to begin the simulation. The simulation does not use a strong password because it is being reused from an earlier course. Stress that students should use strong passwords in the real world.
