Introduction

A "Push", or unattended installation of Windows Vista x64 provides a means for network 
administrators to easily install Windows Vista x64 on x64 capable systems. 
The network administrator can create a bootable media that will automatically 
log into a central server and install the operating system from the Windows Vista x64 
installation directory stored on that server.  This document provides instructions for 
a basic unattended installation of Windows Vista x64 that includes the installation of 
drivers for the Intel(R) PRO/100 and Intel(R) Gigabit Network Connections. 

As part of the unattended installation, you can create Teams and VLANs. If 
you wish to create one or more team/VLANs as part of the unattended 
installation, you must also follow the instructions in the "Instructions for Creating 
Teams and VLANs (Optional)" section of this document. 

The elements necessary for the Windows Vista x64 unattended installation are:

- A server with a shared image of the Windows Vista x64 Installation DVD. 
- If you wish to create team/VLANS as part of the unattended installation, you need
  to create a configuration file with the team/VLAN information in it.  To create
  this file you need a sample system that has the same type of adapter(s) that will
  be in the systems receiving the push installation.  On the sample system,
  use Intel(R) PROSet for Windows Device Manager to set up the adapters 
  in the team/VLAN configuration you want. This system could also be the Windows 
  Vista x64 system mentioned above. For clarity, this system is referred to in this 
  document as the configured system.
- An unattended installation configuration file that provide Windows setup 
  with information it needs to complete the installation. The name of this 
  file is UNATTEND.XML  
- The Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK)

Setting up an install directory on the file server

The server must be setup with a distribution folder that holds the required 
Windows Vista x64 files. Clients must also be able to read this folder when connecting 
via TCP/IP.

For illustration purposes, the examples in this document use the network share 
D:\PushVistax64. To create this share:

1) Create a directory on the server, (EX: D:\PushVistax64).
2) Use the My Computer applet in Windows to locate the D:\PushVistax64 folder.  
3) Right-click the folder and select Sharing. Select Share this folder. 
4) Give it a share name (EX: PushVistax64). This share name will be used to connect 
   to this directory from the remote target systems.  
5) Adjust permissions as necessary and click OK.  

To prepare the distribution folder:

1) Copy the entire contents from the Windows Vista x64 DVD to D:\PushVistax64. Use Windows 
    Explorer or XCOPY to maintain the same directory structure as on the 
    Windows Vista x64 DVD. When the copy is complete, the Windows Vista x64 installation 
    files should be in the D:\PushVistax64 directory. 
2) Use the Windows System Image Manager to edit/generate the 
    Unattend.xml file and save it to the D:\PushVistax64 directory.
3) Create the driver install directory structure and copy the driver files 
    to it. 

Example: From a Windows command prompt where e: is the drive letter of 
your CDROM drive: 
e:
cd \APPS\SETUP\PUSH 
	(you must be in the APPS\SETUP\PUSH\ directory to run PUSHCOPY)
pushcopy D:\PushVistax64 Vistax64

The above command creates the $OEM$ directory structure and copy all the 
necessary files to install the driver and Intel(R) PROSet for Windows Device 
Manager. However, Intel(R) PROSet for Windows Device Manager is not installed 
unless the FirstLogonCommands is added as seen in the example below.

[Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup\FirstLogonCommands\SynchronousCommand]
CommandLine= %systemdrive%\WMIScr\Install.bat
Description= Begins silent unattended install of Intel PROSet for Windows Device Manager
Order= 1

4) Using ImageX.EXE from the WAIK, create a WIM image file of the $OEM$ folder
Example: From the Windows command prompt:
Imagex /capture d:\PushVistax64\$oem$\$1 d:\PushVistax64\intel.wim "Intel(R) PROSet for Device Manager Drivers and Software"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instructions for Creating Teams and VLANs (Optional)

Note: If you used Pushcopy from the section "To prepare the distribution folder:"  
the directory structure will already be created and you can skip step 4.

1) Copy SavResDX.vbs from the Intel CD to the configured system. The file is 
   located in the APPS\WMI\ directory on the Intel CD. 
2) Open a command prompt on the configured system and navigate to the 
    directory containing SavResDX.vbs. 
3) Run the following command: cscript SavResDX.vbs save. A configuration file 
   called WmiConf.txt is created in the same directory. 
4) On the Server , create a directory in the $OEM$\$1 directory 
   called WMIScr. For example, on Windows Vista x64, the directory is 
   $OEM$\$1\WMIScr. 
5) Copy the SavResDX.vbs and WmiConf.txt files to the WMIScr directory.  
6) Locate the batch file, Install.bat, in $OEM$\$1\WMIScr.  Edit the batch file by
    removing the comment that preceeds the second START command.  The file 
    should look like the follow when finished:
   
   Start /wait %systemdrive%\drivers\net\INTEL\APPS\ProsetDX\Vistax64\PROSetDX.msi /qn /li %temp%\PROSetDX.log
   REM Uncomment the next line if VLANs or Teams are to be installed.
   Start /wait /b cscript %systemdrive%\wmiscr\SavResDX.vbs restore %systemdrive%\wmiscr\wmiconf.txt > %systemdrive%\wmiscr\output.txt
   exit

Note: If you are adding a team or VLAN, run ImageX.exe afterwards to create the Intel.wim
containing the team or VLAN.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deployment methods

Boot using your WinPE 2.0 media and connect to the server containing your Windows
Vista x64 installation share. 

Run the command from the \\Server\PushVistax64 prompt: 
	setup /unattend:<full path to answer file> 

NOTE: In the above procedure, setup runs the installation in unattended mode 
and also detects the plug and play network adapters. All driver files are 
copied from the shared directory to the target system directories and 
installation of the OS and Network Adapters continues without user 
intervention. 

If you installed VLANs as part of the unattended installation, view the 
results of the script execution in the output.txt file. This file is in 
the same directory as the SavResDX.vbs file.

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
