Creating Operating System Installation Directories for Windows Server 2008
Operating Systems
NOTE: The following procedures are provided as a best practices guideline for
creating operating system distribution folders compatible with the DTK sample
scripts. For complete instructions on setting up an installation directory structure
for an unattended installation, see your operating system documentation.
For deployment of Windows Server 2008 operating systems, perform the
following steps:
1
Create an operating system-specific directory in the root directory of the
network share. For example:
W2K8_deploy
2
Create two directories under the
W2K8_deploy
directory:
sources
and
<platform name>
, for example,
PE2950
.
3
Copy the contents of the operating system CD to
sources
.
4
Under
PE2950
, create two directories:
$OEM$
and
Out-of-Box Drivers
.
5
Copy all the drivers to
W2K8_deploy\PE2950\ Out-of-Box Drivers
. You
can copy each driver to a different sub-folder.
6
Copy
unattend.xml
from
\Toolkit\template\Configs
to
W2K8_deploy\PE2950
.
7
If required, modify the
unattend.xml
for
DiskID
under the tags
DiskConfiguration
and
ImageInstall
. Default value is 0 for
DiskID
.
8
Make sure that
DiskID
specified in the
unattend.xml
is actually available
to install the operating system. You can run the
DiskPart
utility to check
disk details.
9
Boot your system with Windows PE 2.0 DTK media.
10
Use the following command syntax to connect your system to the shared
folder,
W2K8_deploy
:
Net use Z: \\10.94.140.12\W2K8_deploy
