MDT2010新功能（18）――选择Profiles

原帖地址：http://blogs.technet.com/mniehaus/archive/2009/07/12/mdt-2010-new-feature-18-selection-profiles.aspx

As mentioned previously, MDT 2010 now allows you to create as many folders as you want, in whatever hierarchy you want.  Once you have all of these folders, you need a convenient way of selecting one or more that you want to use for various activities.  That’s where selection profiles come in: they allow you to select a set of folders to use.
如之前所提到的那样，MDT2010允许你创建你想要的文件夹结构，不过当你创建好这些文件夹时，怎样做才能实现方便便捷的使用这些文件夹呢？答案是使用profiles。

Selection profiles are used for several purposes in the Deployment Workbench and in Lite Touch deployments themselves:

在工作台和LTI部署中，选择profiles有主要几个目的

• To control what drivers and packages are injected into the Lite Touch (and generic) boot images.  This is done on the property pages for the deployment share that were explored previously in the http://blogs.technet.com/mniehaus/archive/2009/06/27/mdt-2010-new-feature-7-boot-image-creation-optimized.aspx posting: 控制被加入引导镜像中的驱动和软件包
  
• To control what drivers are injected during the task sequence.  In the task sequence editor, you can see a new user interface on the “Inject Drivers” step that allows you to select the selection profile:控制部署过程中使用的驱动，你可以在ts编辑器里打开“Inject Drivers”步骤，就能发现一个新的界面，允许选择profiles

To control what is included in any media that you create:
用于控制你创建的任意媒介：


To control what is replicated to other deployment shares:
控制复制到其他deployment share的内容

• (This was touched on in http://blogs.technet.com/mniehaus/archive/2009/06/27/mdt-2010-new-feature-5-support-for-multiple-deployment-shares.aspx, but will probably be explored in more detail later.)
  
• To filter what task sequences and applications are displayed in the Deployment Wizard.  To do this, you can set the “WizardSelectionProfile” variable in CustomSettings.ini to the name of the selection profile to use.  (Really, this could be new feature #19, but I’ll keep it here and hope everyone reads this.)

There are several built-in selection profiles, all of which are read-only so they can’t be modified or deleted:

有几个内置的profiles，且都是只读的，不能修改删除

• Everything.  This includes all folders (nothing excluded).包含所有的文件夹
• All Drivers.  Not surprisingly, this includes the “Out-of-box Drivers” folder and all its subfolders.包含“Out-of-box Drivers”和他的所有子文件夹
• All Drivers and Packages.  This includes the “Out-of-box Drivers” folder and the “Packages” folder, and all the subfolders of both.包含“Out-of-box Drivers”和“Packages”及所有的子文件夹
• All Packages.  This includes the “Packages” folder and all its subfolders.包含“Packages”及所有子文件夹
• Nothing.  This includes no folders.  (I use this for testing in Hyper-V where no drivers are required in my boot images.)不包含任何文件夹

You can create as many additional selection profiles as you want.  Just right click on the Selection Profiles node and choose “New Selection Profile”.  The wizard will ask for a name and the folders you want to include.  You can select as many or as few folders as you wish.

It’s worth pointing out a few other behaviors too:

• Any new folders created under an included folder (such as a folder created under “Dell” above) will also be included by default �C no editing of the selection profile is required.如果没有修改profie，则在已有文件夹下创建文件夹默认是包含在profile里的
• Any new folders created under an excluded folder (such as the “XXX” folder above) will be excluded by default.同上，在不被包含的文件夹里创建子文件夹默认是不包含的
• If a folder that had been selected is deleted, it won’t cause any issues �C the now-invalid folder listed in the selection profile will be ignored.如果删除了一个文件夹并不会带来任何问题，在profile中失效的文件夹会被忽略掉

This should make it easier for you, as you don’t need to worry about editing selection profiles each time you add a new folder or remove an existing one.
