Modifying an existing installation profile

To modify an existing installation profile that is already in the Build Plan:

Start the SA Client and in the Navigation pane, set the view to the By Type tab.
Select the folder OS Build Plans.
From the list of available plans, open the plan you intend to modify.
Select the step in the Edit Build Plan window and note the location as shown below:

Select the Apply Configuration File step. Note the Install Path and the step's order position in the Build Plan. You will need this information when adding your own Apply Configuration File step.
In the SA Client Library panel, select the By Folder tab, locate the configuration file and create a copy of the file.
Open the configuration file copy and in the edit window, remove the old step in the Build Plan by clicking on the Remove button.
Add the new step as shown below:

Note that the Apply Configuration File step applies only to the configurations from Configuration Templates.

Ensure that the Apply Configuration File step is in the correct order and has the same Install Path.
After you add the Apply Configuration File step, you can double click it to edit it if necessary.

You can also create a new Configuration File in the SA Client Library By Folder view by selecting the New... context menu option and selecting Configuration Template, or by navigating to the Configuration Templates folder when viewing the SA Client Library in By Type view. Be sure to change the Parser Syntax. Build Plans only support the Custom Attribute Syntax. You can copy/paste your installation profile in the content section of the Configuration Template. You can add the new Configuration Template in the same way as before.

Build Plans modify the installation profile using the Inject Required and Inject Personalization family of scripts that are specific to each profile type. The Inject Required scripts change the profile to integrate it with the SA Provisioning process. For example, the path to the install media is added to the profile. The Inject Personalization scripts extend functionality in addition to the profile. For example, steps that add network configurations to the profile.
