86 Running the Deployment Scripts
4
Run the following command:
On Windows PE 2.0
oscdimg -n -bc:\vistaPE_x86\etfsboot.com
c:\vistaPE_x86\ISO c:\vistaPE_x86\WinPE2.0.iso
On Windows PE 3.0
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:
WinPE2.0.iso
.(Windows
PE 2.0) or
WinPE3.0.iso
(Windows PE 3.0).
You can use any CD/DVD burning software to burn the image onto a CD/DVD.
After burning the ISO image, ensure that it boots from the CD/DVD 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 make sure that the
integration was successful and there are no issues with hardware components
not being recognized.
Running the Image
You are now ready to use your bootable media to call the deployment
components from the directory structure on the media:
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 media to complete the deployment process.
Media-Based Local Deployment With
Networking Enabled for Windows
This method provides greater flexibility and is highly recommended in large
deployments. The prerequisites are the availability of network bandwidth and
that all target systems are connected to the network.
NOTE: DTK network-based deployment is not supported from mapped
Novell NetWare systems.
