If only one operating system option is offered, you are not prompted, and an unattended installation of the OS image starts. • Custom Setup: This option enables you to override the automatic computer naming process and the default location in Active Directory, where client computer accounts are created. Help desk or administrators can use this option to preinstall a client computer for someone within the enterprise. • Restart a Previous Setup Attempt: This option restarts the OS installation process when an installation attempt fails before completion. This option does not copy files from where the previous installation attempt failed; however, you are not required to answer questions answered in the CIW from the previous setup attempt. • Maintenance and Troubleshooting: This option provides access to third-party maintenance and troubleshooting tools that you can use before installing the OS. Examples of these tools include system flash BIOS updates, computer diagnostic tools, and virus scanning utilities.
