Creating WinPE Image and Updating Install Media for Windows 2012 and
Windows 2012 R2
To create WinPE Image and update Install Media for Windows 2012 and Windows 2012 R2:
1. Log in to the ASM virtual appliance and copy the scripts build-razor-winpe.ps1 and razor-client.ps1
from the /opt/razor-server/build-winpe directory to a folder created in the ADK machine. For
example, ADK machine directory may be c:\buildpe.
2. In the razor-client.ps1 file, replace ${server} with the IP address of your ASM virtual appliance in
the following code:
$baseurl = http://${server}:8080/svc
After completing this task, the following line is displayed.
$baseurl = http://192.168.0.17:8080/svc
You should have Windows Assessment and Deployment toolkit that contains the Windows PE
environment used to automate the Windows installer installed in the DEFAULT location on a
Windows machine. Licensing for Windows PE requires that you build your own customized WinPE
WIM image containing the required scripts.
NOTE:
• If you want deploy Windows to VMWare VMs, the WinPE drivers for the VMXNET3 virtual
network adapter from VMWare is also required. The instructions for obtaining a VMXNET3
driver from VMWare are listed below.
• While deploying Windows to an m420 server, drivers for Broadcom network adapters must
be added to the image as they are not included in Windows. The instructions for including
these drivers are listed below.
The install scripts require the default location for the ADK. This package is obtained from
Microsoft.
3. Copy the build-razor-winpe.ps1 and razor-client.ps1 scripts created to a directory on your machine
with ADK 8.0 or 8.1 installed in the default location as described in step 1.
4. Obtain a copy of the Broadcom Drivers for an m420 server from dell.com and install the driver
package on a Windows 2012 or 2012 R2 machine. Locate the Windows install drivers on the
filesystem and copy them to the Drivers folder created in the step 3. These drivers typically start with
"b57".
5. Obtain a copy of the VMware Windows drivers for the VMXNET 3 adapter from VMware. To obtain
the VMware Windows drivers:
a. Install VMware tools on a running Windows 2012 or Windows 2012 R2 and on the virtual
machine.
b. Go to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\Drivers directory.
c. Copy the contents in the Drivers folder to the directory that contains your WinPE build scripts.
6. Copy the files boot.wim and install.wim from the ASM virtual appliance to the directory on your ADK
machine. The boot.wim and install.wim files can be found in the /var/lib/razor/repo-store/<your
Windows repo>/SOURCES directory.
7. Using a command line tool for Powershell, go to the directory containing your build scripts, Drivers
folder, and boot.wim and install.wim files. This directory should contain these files only.
