Deploying Operating Systems

After the system hardware is versioned and configured, an operating system

can be installed using unattended setup files, samples of which are provided

as part of the DTK. While these sample configuration files are operating

system specific, they have been enhanced for Dell systems. See your operating

system documentation for more information about how to modify these

unattended installation files.

For Windows PE, the sample configuration files contain examples to deploy

the following operating systems:

• Windows Server 2003 with SP1 (32-bit)

• Windows Server 2003 with SP2 (32-bit)

• Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)

NOTE: For the latest supported operating systems, see the Windows PE

documentation.

deploy the following operating systems:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server version 3 (32- and 64-bit)
