Running Deployment Scripts Using DTK and Microsoft Windows PE 75

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:

Integrating DTK tools and scripts: Copy the folder

\dell

that you unzipped

from the Dell-supplied zip file to

or extract the

Dell-supplied file directly into the Windows PE build.

Navigate to the

\Dellwinpebuild\Dell\x32\Drivers\winpe1.x

location and

run the following command:

driverinst.bat <path to Dellwinpebuild> <path to

dell\drivers>

NOTE: The path to Windows PE and the path to Dell drivers should not

contain any white space.

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.

NOTE: When booting the target system, ensure that the RAC and the

mr2kserv services are running.
