Running Deployment Scripts Using DTK and Microsoft Windows PE 77
The \DellWinPEBuild specifies the path where the files necessary to create
the Windows PE are temporarily stored. If this directory does not already
exist, mkimg.cmd creates it.
This process extracts all the necessary files from \I386 on the
Windows Server 2003 product CD and puts them in \DellWinPEBuild drive.
These files include drivers that are part of the Windows Server 2003 CD.
These drivers may be old and may not recognize the new peripherals
integrated in your new Dell system. Proceed to add the latest drivers in the
standard Windows PE build you just created.
Integration of DTK Directory Structure in Windows PE Build
This task involves a five-step process:
1
Integrating DTK tools and scripts: Copy the folder \dell that you unzipped
from the Dell-supplied zip file to
<DellWinPEBuild> , or extract the
Dell-supplied file directly into the Windows PE build.
2 Installing necessary drivers into Windows PE: Execute
\Dell\Drivers\DRIVERINST.BAT with two required arguments:
• Path to
<DellWinPEBuild>
• Path where the Dell-provided drivers are located. These drivers can be
found in the DTK zip file under the
\Dell\drivers folder.
3 Adding support for mass storage drivers into Windows PE:
NOTE: You must implement this step to ensure mass storage drivers are
installed into Windows PE.
In the winpeoem.sif file (available under I386\SYSTEM32 in your
Windows PE directory), edit the following text to remove the semicolons
from the
Oem Driver Params section and append the directory
names for the Dell mass storage drivers:
OemDriverRoot=""
OemDriverDirs=MRAID, PERC4IM, PERC5, SAS5
NOTE: A sample winpeoem.sif file is available under
\Dell\Toolkit\template\Configs.
