Properties
The scripts used in LTI and ZTI reference properties to determine the process steps and configuration settings used during the deployment process. The scripts create some of these properties automatically. You must configure other properties in the CustomSettings.ini file. In addition, some of these properties are:
Specific to ZTI only.
Specific to LTI only.
For use in both ZTI and LTI.
Use this reference to help determine the correct properties to configure and the valid values to include for each property.
For each property the following information is provided:
Description. Provides a description of the purpose of the property and any pertinent information regarding the customization of the property.
Note Unless explicitly specified for LTI or ZTI only, a property is valid for both LTI and ZTI.
Value and Description. Indicates the valid values to be specified for the property and a brief description of what each value means. (Values in italics indicate a value is substituted—for example a value of user1, user2 indicates you would replace user1 and user2 with the actual name of user accounts.)
Example. Provides sample property use as it might appear in the .ini files.
For more information on these and other task sequence properties that might be referenced while performing a ZTI deployment, see Operating System Deployment Task Sequence Variables at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb632442.aspx.

Specifies the password for the user account specified in the DBID property. The DBID and DBPwd properties provide the credentials for performing SQL Server authentication to the computer running SQL Server (specified by the SQLServer property).
Note Using SQL Server authentication is not as secure as Windows Integrated Authentication. Windows Integrated Authentication is the recommended authentication method. Using the DBID and DBPwd properties stores the credentials in clear text in the CustomSettings.ini file. For more information about using Windows Integrated Authentication, see the SQLShare property.
Note This property is only configurable by manually editing the CustomSettings.ini and BootStrap.ini files.

KeyboardLocale
A list of keyboard locales to be used with the target operating system. More than one keyboard locale can be specified for the target operating system. Each locale must be separated by a semicolon (;). If not specified, the Windows Deployment Wizard uses the keyboard locale configured in the image being deployed.
Ensure that you exclude this setting in USMT when you are backing up and restoring user state information. Otherwise, the settings in the user state information will override the values specified in the KeyboardLocale property.
Note This property is used only for deploying Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. For this property to function properly it must be configured in both the CustomSettings.ini and BootStrap.ini files. This is because BootStrap.ini is processed before a deployment point (containing CustomSettings.ini) has been selected.

Location
The geographic location of the target computers. A list of IP addresses that correspond to the default gateways defined for the computers within that location defines the Location property. An IP address for a default gateway can be associated with more than one location.
Typically, the value for the Location property is set by performing a database query on the database managed through Deployment Workbench. Deployment Workbench can assist in creating the locations, defining property settings associated with the locations, and then configuring CustomSettings.ini to perform the database query for the Location property and the property settings associated with the locations.
For example, a LocationSettings section in CustomSettings.ini can query the LocationSettings view in the database for a list of locations containing the value specified in the DefaultGateway property listed in the Parameters property. The query returns all settings associated with each default gateway.
Then the scripts parse each section that corresponds to the locations returned in the query. For example, values of [NYC] and the [NYC-6311 Lexington-4th Floor] sections in CustomSettings.ini can represent the corresponding locations. This is an example of how one computer can belong to two locations. The [NYC] section is for all computers in a larger geographic area (an entire city), while the [NYC-6311 Lexington-4th Floor] section is for all computers on the fourth floor at 6311 Lexington Ave., in New York City.

OSDInstallPackage
The SMS 2003 OSD Feature Pack package that the operating system image installation CD installs, using a Systems Management Server package advertisement or Windows Deployment Services. This is set by the custom program or script specified in the Operating System Image Installation CD Wizard.
During the Validation Phase, if the value of the OSDInstallPackage property (the value gathered by ZTIGather.wsf) is not equal to the value of the OSDPackageID for the currently running package, the scripts log the following warning message:
Warning: The OSDINSTALLPACKAGE value gathered (XXX00000) does not match the actively-running package (XXX00001). The intended package may not be installing due to SMS advertisement targeting problems.
Note For this property to function properly, the OSDInstallPProgram, OSDInstallSilent, and OSDNewMachineName properties must also be specified. In addition, the property must be configured in both the CustomSettings.ini and BootStrap.ini files. This is because BootStrap.ini is processed before a deployment point (containing CustomSettings.ini) has been selected.
Note This property is used only in the New Computer scenario for CD or Windows Deployment Services installations. This property is not used for other scenarios or installation types.

Role
The purpose of a computer based on the tasks performed by the user on the target computer. The Role property lists text values that can be any non-blank value. The Role property value has a numeric suffix (for example, Role1 or Role2). When defined, a role is associated with a computer. A computer can perform more than one role.
Typically, the value for the Role property is set by performing a database query on the DWDB database. Deployment Workbench can assist in creating the role and property settings associated with the role, and then Deployment Workbench can configure CustomSettings.ini to perform the database query for the Role property and the property settings associated with the role.

USMTMigFiles
A list of files in XML format that are used by USMT (Scanstate.exe) to identify user state migration information to be saved. When this property is not specified, the ZTIUserState.wsf script uses MigApp.xml, MigUser.xml, and MigSys.xml. Otherwise, ZTIUserState.wsf uses the files explicitly referenced in this property. The USMTMigFiles property has a numeric suffix (for example, USMTMigFiles1 or USMTMigFiles2).
Note Use this property to specify the .xml files to be used by Scanstate.exe instead of using the /I parameter in the ScanStateArgs property. This prevents the ZTIUserState script from potentially duplicating the same list of .xml files.
