Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Microsoft Windows PE 43
NOTE: Do not create your DTK directory structure on a NetWare network volume.
The DTK network-based deployment is not supported from mapped NetWare
systems.
DTK Utilities and Files
All necessary DTK files are provided as part of the initial installation. It is
strongly suggested that you use the default directory structure created in the
initial installation of the DTK components. The sample scripts provided with
the DTK are set up to use these default paths. See Figure 3-1.
NOTE: If you choose to create a directory structure for the DTK components that is
different from the one provided in the initial installation, carefully review and edit
each sample script (where necessary) to reflect the different directory structure.
A 32-bit unzip utility is needed to create the Dell utility partition. Ensure that
you copy this utility into one of the path directories of your Windows PE 1.0
image, preferably \I386\system32; for Windows PE 2.0, the path directory
should preferably be \windows\system32.
System-Specific Files
The directory Toolkit\Systems acts as a central repository for all the system-
specific deployment information. For example, you can store all profile
configuration files for an optimally configured PowerEdge™ 2850 in the
directory Toolkit\Systems\pe2850 as shown in the figure. These files can then
be accessed from this directory when deploying multiple PowerEdge 2850
systems.
NOTE: If you choose to create a directory structure for the system-specific files that
is different from the one suggested in this guide, be sure to carefully review and edit
each sample script (where necessary) to reflect the different directory structure.
