Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Microsoft Windows PE 41
Table 3-6 lists the system files and other tools for you to be able to use DTK
utilities and its sample scripts.
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
media. 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).
