Re: application deployment under state restore phase when using a CD

The restore phase runs even when doing a bare metal installation.

Make sure that SMS sitecode and MP is set. Here is a vbscript that
sets this info... add it as a custom action...

Set osd = CreateObject("OSD.Environment")
osd("OSDMP") = "SMSSERVERNAME:80"
osd("OSDSITECODE") = "XXX"

Hi group.
I'm having a strange problem. When I deploy a OS package and install
other applications such a MS office in the state restore phase,
everything works just fine, when i'm doing it via SMS, to a running
computer.
However, when i'm installing the same package, and the same program but
from a CD, to a bare metal system, it will not install the applications
that I have defined under the state restore phase.
Is it because there are no state restore phase, when it's a fresh
system?
Is there another way to install additional applications to a bare metal
system? I don't want to include applications in the image.
Question in short: How do I install other packages when installing OS
packages from CD, to an empty PC?
TIA
