Copy Items in the Deployment Workbench

Use the Deployment Workbench to copy operating systems, device drivers, and other items within a deployment share or between two deployments shares. When you copy an item, the Deployment Workbench creates a link to the original item instead of creating a separate copy of the item. This reduces the size of the deployment share. If you want to create a duplicate of an item, import the item again in the target folder.

When you copy an item between deployment shares and an item with the same:

· GUID already exists in the target deployment share, the configuration settings for the source item will be applied to the target item, including the name (if the items do not already have the same name)

· Name already exists in the target deployment share, an error is generated, because two items of the same type cannot have the same name

You can copy items by using:

· Cut and Paste actions as described in Copy Items Using the Cut and Paste Actions

· Drag-and-drop functionality as described in Copy Items Using Drag-and-Drop Functionality
