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 4.0, 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.
