I have a PXE server for deploying Windows XP and Windows 7 to workstations. The process is as follows Boot the workstation from the NIC. Workstation sends a DHCP request. DHCP server responds with an IP address and the location of the PXE server. Workstation downloads Win. PE image file from PXE server via TFTPWorkstation stores Win. PE image file in memory and executes it. Once booted into Win. PE, I connect to a network share to gain access to either the Windows XP or Windows 7 installation files. A custom script is launched to guide you through the process of formatting and partitioning the hard drives using DISKPART and FORMAT. Another custom script asks for details such as the hostname to assign to the workstation. Second Program Loader'>Second Program Loader. S Antivirus Win98 more.

The Windows setup EXE is launched, passing the unattended answer file to it as a parameter. The Windows XP and Windows 7 installation sources have been customised to include the drivers for our Dell workstations. They also run a number of scripts upon first booting up to install software packages. This process works very well for our workstations and I would now like to use it for building our servers too. The vast majority of our servers are HP Proliant DL3. G6, DL3. 80 G5 and DL3. G6. Theyre running Windows Server 2. To date, we have always built the HP Proliant servers using the Smart. Start CD provided. Smart. Start does three useful things for us Setup RAID with HP Array Configuration Utility ACU. Installs and configures SNMPInstalls various HP Tools for Windows HP Array Configuration Utility, HP Array Diagnostic Utility, HP Proliant Integrated Management Log Viewer, etcUsing Smart. Start I have never had to manually download and install Windows drivers for network, sound, video, etc. Im not sure if this is because Smart. Start copies drivers from the CD during setup, or whether Windows just has the drivers natively in its driver CAB. If I abandon the Smart. Start CD in favour of my PXE server I would have to do the following As I wont have access to ACU, Ill configure the RAID before booting to the PXE server by pressing F8 during the boot process to access Option ROM Configuration for Arrays ORCA. Installation of SNMP and the HP Tools will have to be installed once the Windows installation is complete using the Proliant Support Pack. Is this method OKIs there anything that the Smart. Start CD does that Ill be unable to do by other means Are there any disadvantages to not using the Smart. Start CD Many thanks. UPDATE 0. 50. 11. Ive been reading through the Smart. Start Scripting Toolkit documentation. The scripting toolkit contains command line tools which work within Win. PE and can such things as configure BIOS settings, configure an array and setup ILO. Im personally not too bothered about configuring BIOS settings as I rarely deviate from the defaults unless the server is to be a Hyper V host. Im not too fussed about being able to configure the array from within Win. PE, as Im happy to just press F8 and use Option ROM Configuration for Arrays ORCA. Although, if its easy enough to do, I will explore this further, as it saves time if everything can be configured from within Win. PE. One of the nice features all the tools possess is that you can pass input files to them. EG. Configure one server to your requirements, capture its configuration to a file using the appropriate tool, you can then use the tool on other servers passing the input file with the captured configuration. Array controller drivers appear to be included with the toolkit along with example of how to incorporate them within a Win. PE build. I suppose Win. PE wont be able to see logical volumes I. E 2x physical disks in a RAID 1 configuration without the array controller drivers I mentioned in my post that Smart. Start normally installs a bunch of Windows HP tools for you. Ive had a look today, and if you run the Smart. Start CD from within Windows all the tools can be installed. Therefore I can do this after the Windows installation is complete. The Smart. Start CD appears to contain a lot Windows drivers. I can customise my Windows 2. However, I understand that incorporating an array controller driver is a little different to most drivers. I believe that you have to provide the driver during the very early stages of the Windows setup. Im working through the Scripting Toolkit documentation to try and work this out.
