The following are features of this release:

• PC Transplant (included with Deployment Solution) was updated to support Windows 7 migrations from Windows XP and Vista. For more information, see the PC Transplant Release Notes article 48704.
• DAgent can now be uninstalled from the DS Console. To access the uninstall option, right-click the client in the DS Console.
• DAgent supports the customdata.ini file.
• The DS Linux preboot automation environment now uses the openSUSE 11.1 Linux kernel, which is the kernel 2.6.27.7 version.
• The Deployment Solution installation adds the Ghost Walker tool that you can use manually. There are no integrated tasks or jobs in Deployment Solution for Ghost Walker, however.
• New options were added to the evaluation mode DeployAnywhere. You can now specify a file name for the report and log files, so that multiple computers write to separate files. The logPath option and the logId option can be used together or individually. logPath contains the fully qualified path to where the DeployAnywhere log files are written. logId is a string that is prepended to the log file names. For example, Ghdplyaw32.exe /target=c: /eval /logPath=z:\logs /logId=zzz.
