Deploying operating systems
After the system hardware is versioned and congured, an operating system can be installed using unattended setup les, samples of
which are provided as part of DTK. The sample conguration les are operating system specic, and have been enhanced for Dell
systems. For information on modifying the sample conguration les, see your operating system documentation.
DTK Utilities (SYSCFG and RAIDCFG) and scripts (sample) supports Windows PE 5.1, and Windows PE 10.0. For Microsoft WinPE
and OS deployment limitations, see technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824993.aspx.
DTK helps to deploy the Microsoft Windows Server operating systems in BIOS and UEFI mode, for supported OS information refer
