Quick Start Manual

8. To run the build script, run the command:

powershell -executionpolicy bypass -noninteractive -file build-razor-

winpe.ps1

NOTE: This step takes some time to complete. After completion, it creates a directory with the

name razor-winpe under the current working directory. The final custom WinPE image,

bootmgr.exe (for Windows 2012 R2 repositories), boot.wim, and install.wim are copied to this

directory.

Copying WinPE and Install Media to ASM Repository and Updating

Permissions

To copy WinPE and install media to ASM repository and update permissions for all files in the repository:

1. Copy the new boot.wim and install.wim files to ASM virtual appliance under /var/lib/razor/repo-

store/<your 2012 repo>/SOURCES

2. Make sure you update the permissions on the boot.wim and install.wim files on ASM virtual

appliance. Therefore you can run the files. To perform this task, run the following commands:

"sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/razor/repo-store/<your windows repo>/sources/

boot.wim"

"sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/razor/repo-store/<your windows repo>/sources/

install.wim"

3. Rename the new WinPE image file that you have created in the earlier section to razor-winpe.wim,

and then copy the file to the root of your Windows repository created using the steps described in

the section Create a repository with Windows installation media on ASM appliance.

4. If you are deploying Windows 2012 R2, you should also copy the latest bootmgr.exe file to the root

of your Windows repository created using the steps described in the section

Create a repository with

Windows installation media on ASM appliance. This file is available in the output directory when you

create your customized WinPE image as specified in the earlier section.

5. Make sure that the right privileges are granted to the repository files.

"sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/razor/repo-store/<your windows repo>/bootmgr.exe"

"sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/razor/repo-store/<your windows repo>/razor-

winpe.wim"

"sudo find <your windows repo> -print0 | sudo xargs -0 chown razor:razor"

“sudo setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro 1”
