Input. Indicates the files used for input to the script.
Output. Indicates the files created or modified by the script.
References. Indicates other scripts or configuration files that are referenced by the script.
Location. Indicates the folder where the script can be found. In the information for the location, the following variables are used:
- program_files. This variable points to the location of the Program Files folder on the computer where Microsoft Deployment is installed.
- distribution. This variable points to the location of the Distribution folder for the deployment point.
- platform. This variable is a placeholder for the operating system platform (x86 or x64).
Use. Provides the command line and options that can be specified.
Arguments and description. Indicate the valid arguments to be specified for the script and a brief description of what each argument means.
Properties. The properties referenced by the script.

ZTIDiskpart.wsf

This script creates the disk partitions on the target computer by calling the Diskpart utility. The parameters used to configure the disk are specified in the Task Sequencer or CustomSettings.ini. ZTIDiskpart.wsf is primarily run during new computer scenarios. The process is as follows:

The Microsoft Deployment deployment process runs the ZTIDiskpart.wsf script based on the steps and sequence of steps in the Task Sequencer.
ZTIDiskpart.wsf starts the Diskpart utility and sends it the required configuration commands.
ZTIDiskpart.wsf runs ZTIDiskpart.cmd and provides this .txt file as a command-line parameter to ZTIDiskpart.cmd.
The disk is initially cleaned by sending Diskpart the “Clean” command.
If this is the first disk, and a disk configuration has not been specified in the Task Sequencer or CustomSettings.ini, a single partition is created to store the OS. However, if a disk configuration has been specified, the disk will be configured in accordance with the specified configuration.
If BitLocker Drive Encryption is to be enabled, space is reserved at the end of the first disk.
All format commands are queued until after Diskpart has completed. If not explicitly specified in the Task Sequencer or CustomSettings.ini, ZTIDiskpart.wsf performs a quick format of drive C using the following command line: FORMAT C: /FS:NTFS /V:OSDisk /Q /Y
ZTIDiskpart.wsf copies the ZTIDiskpart_diskpart.log and BDD.log files from the RAM disk back to the hard drive.

You can customize this file to create different partition configurations on the target computer using by providing the required information in the Task Sequencer or CustomSettings.ini.

Value	Description
Input	Environment Variables. Contains the property values, custom property values, database connections, deployment rules, and other information required by the scripts to complete the deployment process.

ZTIValidate.wsf

This script ensures that it is safe for the deployment to continue by validating the condition of the target computer. The script processes are:

If DeploymentType equals “REFRESH” or “UPGRADE” and the target computer is a server, the script will exit.
If OSInstall exists and is not equal to “Y”, the script will exit.
Verify the minimum amount of RAM exists on the target computer. If not, the script will exit.
Verify the processor meets the minimum required speed. If not, the script will exit.
Verify the hard disk size meets the minimum size requirements. If not, the script will exit.
Verify that the target computer’s operating system is installed on drive C. If not, the script will exit.
During an Upgrade scenario: If VerifyOS = “SERVER,” verify that a server operating system is not pending deployment to a target computer that is running a workstation operating system.
During an Upgrade scenario: If VerifyOS = “CLIENT,” verify that a workstation operating system is not pending deployment to a target computer that is running a server operating system.
If DeploymentType equals “REFRESH,” verify that drive C is not compressed by running Compact /u C:\.

This script scans for and installs required updates. The script processes include:

Download the WURedist.cab file from: https://update.microsoft.com/redist.
Extract the WURedist.xml from the WURedist.cab file to the %Temp% directory.
Verify the version of the %SystemRoot%\System32\Wuaueng.dll file meets the minimum required as specified by the clientVersion property contained in the WURedist.xml file. If not, the latest Windows Update Agent (WUA) will be downloaded from the location specified in the downloadUrl property contained in the WURedist.xml file. When the download completes, the downloaded file will be installed using the following command line arguments: /wuforce /quiet.
Delete the files that were recently downloaded.
The Muauth.cab file is downloaded from: https://download.windowsupdate.com/v6/windowsupdate/redist/standalone.
The Authorization.xml file is extracted from the Muauth.cab file to the %Temp% directory.
