Using the Sample DTK Scripts to Run a Full Deployment in
Windows PE
The Master Batch File
A scripted DTK deployment relies on the master batch file to integrate all the applicable DTK task
scripts and utilities and perform pre-operating system configuration tasks before launching the operating
system installation files. The master batch file, along with the TKENVSET.BAT scripts, make up the
master set of instructions that drives the deployment process. This file is not provided with the sample
scripts.
Editing the Sample Batch Files to Perform a Complete System
Deployment in Windows PE
Using the Sample Scripts in a Scripted Deployment
The sample scripts utilize the DTK utilities, the additional supporting utilities, the source system configuration
files, the target system hardware drivers, and the operating system installation files to perform a full
deployment of the target system.
The sample scripts provided with the DTK can be edited and customized using any ASCII text editor that
conforms to the hardware available on the target systems. While it is recommended that you use the DTK
sample scripts to automate your deployment tasks, you can create your own system deployment batch files
using any ASCII text editor by incorporating the various DTK utilities and commands in the batch file.
NOTE: For more information about scripting batch files and specific batch file commands, see your Windows PE
documentation.
Each of the utilities, scripts, and system configuration files are described below. Depending on your
requirements, you may use all or only some of them in your deployment:
Master Batch File— You can write your master batch file to perform a full deployment of a system with
the help of utilities, scripts, and configuration files. This file is not provided with the sample scripts.
Scripts
– TKENVSET.BAT — Sets the path of the DTK installation and variables for the system to be
deployed and configured. The variables and paths specified in this file must be specified before
any of the other supporting scripts can be used.
•
SYSCFG.EXE — Used by TKENVSET.BAT to discover the system type.
–
RACCAP.BAT — Captures RAC settings to a file for DRAC 4 remote access controllers.
•
TKENVSET.BAT — Used by RACCAP.BAT to inform the task scripts where to find the
DTK utilities, scripts, and configuration files.
•
RACADM.EXE — Used by RACCAP.BAT to retrieve RAC information and to
configure settings.
