50 Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Microsoft Windows PE
Configuring a Source System
You need an optimally configured system, both for testing purposes and as the
source for the SYSCFG and RAC configuration files, to be used in the
deployment process. See "Using DTK Sample Scripts to Capture
Configuration Information in Windows PE" on page 67 for instructions on
using the sample DTK scripts, SYSCAP.BAT and RACCAP.BAT, to
generate SYSCFG and RAC configuration files that are used to configure the
target system.
You can use the Systems Build and Update Utility
and Systems Service and
Diagnostics Tools available
on the Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation
DVD supplied with your system to streamline the operating
system installation; to setup and configure your system, including automatic
discovery and configuration of Dell-provided RAID controllers and network
adapters; to access and load the latest utilities, drivers, and diagnostics for your
system; and to install Dell OpenManage systems management software.
NOTE: You can also download the latest drivers from support.dell.com.
For complete information about using the Systems Build and Update Utility,
see the Systems Build and Update Utility User’s Guide and for Systems Service
and Diagnostics Tools, see the Dell Systems Service and Diagnostics Tools
Quick Installation Guide, available at support.dell.com/manuals.
After you have loaded the operating system and all applicable device drivers
from the
Systems Build and Update Utility and Systems Service and
Diagnostics Tools, check support.dell.com for the latest drivers. Put all
necessary drivers to be used in the deployment in the system directory for the
target system. For example, if your target system is a PowerEdge 1850, put all
necessary files in the \Toolkit\Systems\pe1850 directory.
