Running Deployment Scripts Using DTK and Microsoft Windows PE 81
Creating a Bootable CD
Use the following steps to create bootable media:
1
Click
Start
, navigate to
All Programs
Microsoft Windows AIK
.
2
Click
Windows PE Tools Command Prompt
to open a command prompt
window.
3
Move to the
C:\program files\Windows AIK\Tools\x32
or
C:\program
files\Windows AIK\Tools\amd64
directory based on the system.
4
Run the following command:
oscdimg -n -bc:\winpe_30\etfsboot.com
c:\winpe_30\ISO c:\winpe_30\WinPE3.0.iso
This command creates a CD bootable ISO image called
WinPE3.0.iso
.
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, 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.
CD-Based Local Deployment With Networking Enabled
You can also use your bootable CD to call the deployment components from
the directory structure on the CD and the remaining components from the
network share:
1
Boot the target system with the bootable deployment CD.
2
Execute the master batch file, which calls individual task scripts and
utilities from the network share to complete the deployment process.
