The User-Driven Installation task sequence template includes a task sequence step that runs the UDI Wizard. When a task sequence step runs the UDI Wizard, the step also references an XML file that determines the configuration of the UDI Wizard. The UDIWizard_Config.xml file in the Scripts folder controls the behavior of the UDI Wizard. Customize the UDIWizard_Config.xml file using the UDI Wizard Designer.

The UDI Wizard Designer includes predefined stage groups for the UDI Wizard listed in Table 36. You can add or remove the wizard pages that appear in the UDI Wizard and the sequence of each wizard page for each stage group.

Table 36. Predefined Stage Groups for Each Supported MDT Deployment Scenario

Stage group

Description

New Computer

Use this stage group as the basis for your deployment when a new installation of a Windows operating system is deployed to a new computer and no user state is migrated.

Refresh

Use this stage group as the basis for your deployment when a computer is refreshed, including computers that must be re-imaged for image standardization or to address a problem.

Replace

Use this stage group as the basis for your deployment when one computer replaces another computer. The existing user state migration data is saved from the original computer. Then, a new installation of Windows is deployed to a new computer. Finally, the user state data is restored to the new computer.
