This script checks the BIOS on the target computer, and then looks at a list of BIOSes that are incompatible with Windows Vista. The list of incompatible BIOSes is stored in the ZTIBIOSCheck.xml file.

If the BIOS on the target computer is listed in the ZTIBIOSCheck.xml file, then the script returns a status that indicates the BIOS is incompatible with Windows Vista and the deployment process should be terminated. For information on populating the list of incompatible BIOSes, see ZTIBIOSCheck.xml.
