42 Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Microsoft Windows PE
Setting Up a Directory Structure for Deployment
To perform a DTK-enabled deployment, you must create a deployment
directory structure on either a network share or your local workstation hard
drive. The deployment directory structure is a central repository for all
deployment files and can be used successively as a testing space, a repository
for a network deployment, and a repository to build a bootable deployment CD.
If you plan to perform a network-based deployment, you must set up the
directory structure on a network volume that is accessible from your
workstation, the source system (to generate configuration information), and
the target system (to deploy).
If you plan to run a scripted deployment from the DTK sample scripts, ensure
that the following files are correctly structured in the deployment directory.
The DTK sample scripts use this structure to set the default paths for
deployment. If you make changes to the directory structure, you must also
make changes to the sample scripts. The deployment directory structure
consists of the following files:
• DTK utilities and files
• System-specific directories
• Operating system installation files directories
upimg.bin Contains system-
specific Dell
utility partition
files.
NOTE: In the
previous releases,
each Dell system
required a unique
upimg.bin file.
Starting in DTK 2.3 ,
the upimg.bin file is
common for all Dell
systems.
