Modify existing selection profiles in the Deployment Workbench’s Selection Profiles node using the Properties actions as described in View Item Properties in the Deployment Workbench. The selection profile properties are mostly configured when you run the New Selection Profile Wizard. However, you can update the selection profile properties on the General tab of the profile_nameProperties dialog box (where profile_name is the name of the selection profile in the Deployment Workbench).

To configure the General tab for package properties

1.   Click Start, and then point to All Programs. Point to Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, and then click Deployment Workbench.

2.   In the Deployment Workbench console tree, go to Deployment Workbench/Deployment Shares/deployment_share/Advanced Configuration/Selection Profiles (where deployment_share is the name of the deployment share where you will configure the package).

3.   In the details pane, click profile_name (where profile_name is the name of the selection profile you want to configure).

4.   In the Actions pane, click Properties.

The profile_name Properties dialog box opens (where profile_name is the name of the selection profile you want to configure).

5.   On the General tab, configure the settings listed in Table 65 based on the requirements of your organization, and then click OK.
