Create ISO Image for IDV Guest (Windows)

This section and subsections describe the steps required for custom Windows ISO Image creation for Windows IDV Guest. NTLite software is the recommended Windows ISO customization and creation tool for Windows IDV Guest. NTLite software runs on Windows OS.

There are three options available:

1. If you intend to use an IDV server or build a server that operates on Ubuntu OS to create a custom Windows ISO Image for Windows IDV Guest with NTLite, follow Create Windows Virtual Machine using Virtual Machine Manager Running on Ubuntu OS section.

This subsection provides guidance on hosting a Windows Virtual Machine on an Ubuntu-operated system (such as an IDV server or build server) since NTLite software requires running on Windows OS.

Once the previous process is complete, follow the Create Customized Windows ISO Image for the IDV Guest using NTLite section, where the subsection provides guidance on using NTLite Software to create custom Windows ISO image for Windows IDV Guest.

2. If you have access to any Windows device/machine and are subscribed to NTLite Software, follow the instructions in the Create Customized Windows ISO Image for the IDV Guest using NTLite section.
3. If you intend to use an IDV server or build a server that operates on Ubuntu OS and intend to create a Windows Guest ISO without NTLite Software, follow the instructions in the Create IDV Guest (Windows) Manually without NTLite section.
