Running Deployment Scripts Using DTK and Microsoft Windows PE 79
Creating a Bootable Media
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 media bootable ISO image called
WinPE3.0.iso
.
You can use any CD/DVD burning software to burn the image onto a
CD/DVD. After burning the ISO image, make sure that it boots from the
CD/DVD drive for all the supported Dell systems you plan to deploy. After it
boots, test all the tools and scripts on these systems to make sure that the
integration was successful and there are no issues with hardware components
not being recognized.
Media-Based Local Deployment With Networking Enabled
You can also use the bootable media to call the deployment components from
the directory structure on the media and the remaining components from the
network share.
1
Boot the target system with the bootable deployment media.
2
Execute the master batch file, which calls individual task scripts and
utilities from the network share to complete the deployment process.
