76 Running Deployment Scripts Using DTK and Microsoft Windows PE

Extracting the following files from your Windows Server 2003 product CD

\Dell\Toolkit\Tools

•rpcns4.dl_

•rpcrt4.dl_

•rpcss.dl_

NOTE: The directory name should not have any spaces.

NOTE: You can now proceed to customize Windows PE per your requirements.

Creating a Bootable Windows PE ISO Image

After you have completed the DTK integration and customization, you are

now ready to convert all the files in <DellWinPEBuild> into an ISO image

using the OPK tool. Follow the steps below to create a bootable ISO image

from <DellWinPEBuild>.

Create and name a directory on your development system hard drive such

FINALBUILD

. This is where the ISO file is stored.

Open a command prompt and navigate to the

\WinPE_OPKTools

directory you created earlier.

Run the command:

OSCDIMG –bETFSBOOT.COM -n

Here, ETFSBOOT.COM (boot sector file) is a part of the OPK tools you

copied in \WinPE_OPKTools directory. These files make the Windows PE

CD bootable. For example, if the final target folder for storing ISO image is

C:\FINALBUILD, and your Windows PE file set is in <DellWinPEBuild>,

the following command line creates a bootable ISO image called

Dellx86winpe.iso:

C:\WINPE_OPKTOOLS\OSCDIMG -bETFSBOOT.COM -n

c:\DELLWINPEBUILD

C:\FINALBUILD\Dellx86winpe.iso

After you create an ISO image, you can use any CD burning software to burn

the image onto a CD. After burning the ISO image, ensure that it boots from

the CD drive for all the supported Dell systems you plan to deploy. After it

boots, you are advised to test all the tools and scripts on these systems to

ensure that the integration went well and there are no issues with hardware

components not being recognized.
