The Deployment Wizard guides you through the virtual server deployment procedure:

1. Selecting undeployed servers
2. Using a deployment template (hardware and hypervisor profiles combination)
3. Assigning identification to the deployed servers
4. Matching a desired connection profile to each server
5. Scheduling the server deployment job to run

Finally, the Deployment Wizard can take you to the Job Queue where you can manage deployment jobs.
