Summary:The present invention relates to a method for removing the driver map component from being stored on the service partition and placing it on a server for retrieval at a later time. Only the actual device drivers that are required for that system will be provided. A central repository will be provided for applications and device drivers that would leverage the AMT area. The AMT IDE-R would be used to store the hook to network install, for example an IT administrator initiated network install to an unpowered system. Two situations exist in which this method will be used. The first situation involves supplying ImageUltra content to a system that is connected to the Local Area Network while ImageUltra is running. The second situation involves supplying ImageUltra content to a system that is not connected to the Local Area Network while ImageUltra is running.
