Creating Operating System Installation Directories For Systems Running Windows Server

2012 Operating System

NOTE: The following procedures are provided as best practice guidelines for creating operating system distribution

folders compatible with DTK sample scripts. For complete instructions on setting up an installation directory

structure for an unattended installation, see your operating system documentation.

To deploy on Windows Server 2012 operating systems:

1. Create an operating system-specific directory in the root directory of the network share. For example,

W2K12_deploy.

2. Create two directories under the W2K12_deploy directory: sources and <

platform name

>, for example, PER720.

Copy the contents of the operating system media to sources.

NOTE: The platform name must be a DTK standard name. To know the platform name, run TKENVSET.BAT

located in the x:\Dell\Toolkit\Template\Scripts directory, and then run the SET command. In the Details

section, see the DT_PLATFORM name.

3. Under PER720, create two directories: $OEM$ and Out-of-Box Drivers.

4. Copy all the drivers to W2K812_deploy\PER720\Out-of-Box Drivers. You can copy each driver to a different sub-

folder.
