Body
The deployment of the EBD should be completed by designated departmental IT support staff. IT staff should review the pre-deployment guidelines before beginning any installation:
- Turn on the computer and immediately press the function key that triggers a network boot (e.g. F12 on HP computers).
- You will see a PowerShell script run with a GUI pop-up box, which checks whether the drivers needed to start the EBD install are present.
- After the network boot, you should see a Windows Deployment Services boot image selection screen. Select the Engineering Base Desktop boot image.

- If the task sequence begins without displaying this screen our system already has an association between this MAC address and a computer name. The previous computer name is used automatically.
