To accomplish this, Monica chooses to use Windows Deployment Services because she can:. Adds the Boot. Adds the Install. Uses the MMC snap-in to create a capture image from the boot image she added in step 3. This image contains Windows PE and a wizard that will capture her custom image into a.
All users at Fabrikam have the same desktop hardware, which was purchased from a single vendor. To deploy a standard image to the computers, Monica does the following:.
Boots a reference computer from the network and installs the Install. Uses the Image Capture Wizard to recapture the operating system and upload it directly to the Windows Deployment Services server. Now, Monica is ready to install the new operating systems. She does not need to migrate any user data, because all of the employees store their user data on a server rather than on their hard disks. She reboots a client computer and then presses F12 to perform a network boot.
This boots her into the Boot. She selects the disk partition and image she wants, and then the installation begins. While waiting for the image to be applied to the first computer, Monica boots another computer and starts the same process on that one. Northwind Traders is a shipping firm with three offices: a central office in Tooth City, and branch offices in the towns of Brushville and Flosston. His responsibility is maintaining the client computers used by the company's employees.
These are mostly desktop computers, but the sales force uses laptops for customer presentations. There are computers in the central office in Tooth City, and 25 each in the Brushville and Flosston offices. Each site has an internal network running at MB per second MBps , and the branch sites are connected to the Tooth City office by a T1 line. Ron has three Windows Deployment Services servers at the Tooth City office and one in each of the branch offices, which are administered remotely.
Previously, this would have involved many expensive trips to Brushville and Flosston, and it would have taken Ron several weeks to complete. He wants to use Windows Deployment Services to deploy Windows remotely; however, company policy dictates that there can be only one DHCP server on the corporate network, and this server is located at the Tooth City office.
Remotely deploying images to the 50 computers at the branch offices would cause immense congestion on the connection. Use the network boot referral system to minimize network traffic between the branch sites and the central office.
Ron prestages each client computer and assigns the appropriate branch office server as the referral server for each. This ensures that the client downloads files and images from the local server, which minimizes traffic on the line between the offices.
Ron has two standard operating system configurations — one for the desktop computers and one for laptops that contains the sales presentations and drivers for projectors. Therefore, he builds two images: one with the desktop configuration, and one with the laptop configuration with no applications.
He stores all the user data on one of the servers, so he can deploy Windows without preserving any existing data on the client computers. These files automate the installation, so Ron does not need to be present at each computer during the installation. They also automatically install Microsoft Office and the line-of-business application that the company uses for package tracking. He uses the Windows Deployment Services management tools to associate the unattend files with the images.
Next, Ron configures Windows Deployment Services so when a computer is restarted, it will boot from the network automatically and deploy the appropriate image without requiring the users to press F After the image is applied to each computer, the computer is automatically joined to the corporate domain and restarted. He also configures the deployment so that when the computer restarts, the computer will not network boot unless F12 is pressed.
This way, the computer then boots to the hard disk drive and finishes the installation process. This prevents a boot loop, in which the computer would continue booting into Setup. When the installation is completed, the computer is ready for the user to log on. Shu Ito is the network architect for Wide World Importers, a large enterprise with 5, employees in offices all over the world.
When multiple boot images are available, PXE booting through WDS will provide you with a boot menu to select the image to be loaded. After that, you can go to configure Windows Deployment Services. What is the static IP? What is dynamic IP? What are the differences between static and dynamic IP? This post shows answers. Follow the steps below:. Here is some code that will set the computer name hint: you could take the above script that gets the asset tag then Develop the vbscript first then convert it into the HTA.
Since you already use the unattended. It does exactly the same thing as the vb script but without the script. I can get you the key Monday if you want. There were limitations unable to reboot between application installs to the unattended.
The unattended. The Unattend. You'll either have to enable or create an Administrator account via Unattend. You can see an example of the Unattend. I have configured the autologon will run my silent installs via the SyncronousCommand option in the Shell setup. This installs everything great. You mentioned you autologon 3 times to do your windows updates which is something I would like to do as well. I have a script that will have windows check and install the updates which works great for the first login.
However I also have to run it 3 times before all the updates complete. How do you tell the unattended install to run a script during each of the boots but not after that. For instance on my first boot I install office, Acrobat, and other apps, then run my WU script and the last one is shutdown.
On boots 2 and 3 I want to just run my winupdate. I can not remember the exact portion of the unattended. I can get it on Monday. The one thing that might get you is that I am talking about WDS r2 wich uses wim files. So the unattended file is native for win7 and WDS I have not tried MDT yet.
