With Windows Automated installation Kit or Windows AIK installed on your computer, then you are able to do a lot such as customizing, installing and deploying the Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 family of operating systems. Here’s plenty of things you can do if using Windows Automated installation Kit or Windows AIK:
- Able to automate Windows installations,
- Using ImageX to capture Windows images,
- Run Deployment Imaging Servicing and Management (DISM) to configuring and modifying images,
- Create Windows PE images,
- Migrate user profiles and data with the User State Migration Tool (USMT)
Not only that if you are an IT professional you will find Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) included in Windows AIK, so you will have the ability to manage the volume activation process using a Multiple Activation Key (MAK).
So far Windows AIK or Windows Automated Installation that I personally consider as very useful utility are available for Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003 R2 SP3, Windows Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008 family, Windows 7 family, and Windows Server 2008 R2 family.
There are 2 options available to download Windows AIK for Windows 7, first one you can directly download from Microsoft download page or download from KB3AIK_EN.iso for all x86, x64, ia64 systems.
Very useful kit, go Microsoft
