<p>The invention includes a method of installing a computer operating system from a network to a computer and configuring the computer for use on the network or on another network. An installation routine is run which accepts an input of a build location and a delivery location, interrogates an environment database with the build location and the delivery location to obtain one or more build specific variables and one or more delivery specific variables. The installation routine also determines the computer type and installed hardware components, accesses the network using the build specific variables, and copies a master installation script from an operating system installation source stored on the network. Still further, the installation routine modifies the copied installation script in dependence on the build specific variables, delivery specific variables, detected computer type and hardware components to create a dedicated installation script. The computer operating system is subsequently automatically installed using the dedicated installation script. The installation process may also include the step of registering the computer with the network where it is to be used upon so that it is ready for immediate use at the delivery location.</p> |
