Push Install Instructions for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 - Introduction - Setting up an Install Directory on the File Server - Instructions for Creating Teams and VLANs(Optional) - Deployment Methods - Microsoft Documentation for Unattended Installations of Windows Server 2003 - Sample unattend.txt File for Windows Server 2003 - Directory Structure for Unattended Installation Files ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction A "Push", or unattended installation of Windows Server 2003 provides a means for network administrators to easily install Windows Server 2003 on similarly equipped systems. The network administrator can create a bootable diskette that will automatically log into a central server and install the operating system from an image of the Windows Server 2003 installation directory stored on that server. This document provides instructions for a basic unattended installation of Windows Server 2003 (32-bit version) that includes the installation of drivers for the Intel(R) PRO/100 and Intel(R) PRO/1000 adapters. As part of the unattended installation, you can create teams and VLANs. If you wish to create one or more teams/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 Server 2003 unattended installation are: - A Windows Server 2003 system with a shared image of the Windows Server 2003 Installation CD. - If you want to create teams/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 adapters 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 teaming/VLAN configuration you want. This system could also be the Windows Server 2003 mentioned above. For clarity, this system is referred to in this page as the configured system. - An unattended installation configuration file that provides Windows Server 2003 setup with information it needs to complete the installation. The name of this file is UNATTEND.TXT. - A DOS boot diskette that contains Microsoft Network Client software for connecting to the Windows Server 2003 system and AutoExec commands to automatically start the Windows Server 2003 installation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setting up an Install Directory on the File Server The server must be setup with a distribution folder that holds the required Windows Server 2003 files and which clients can reach when connecting via TCP/IP or IPX. For illustration purposes, the examples in this document use the network share D:\PUSHWS03. To create this share: 1) Create a directory on the server, (EX: D:\PUSHWS03). 2) Use the My Computer applet in Windows Server 2003 to locate the D:\PUSHWS03 folder. 3) Right-click the folder and select Sharing. 4) Select Share this folder, then give it a share name (EX: PUSHWS03). This share name will be used to connect to this directory from the remote target systems. By default, the permissions for this share is for Everyone to have Full Control. 5) Adjust permissions as necessary and click OK. To prepare the distribution folder: 1) Copy the \I386 folder from the Windows Server 2003 CD to D:\PUSHWS03. Use Windows Explorer or XCOPY to maintain the same directory structure as on the Windows Server 2003 CD. When the copy is complete, the Windows Server 2003 installation files should be in the D:\PUSHWS03\I386 directory. 2) Copy Unattend.txt from the Intel CD (found in APPS\SETUP\PUSH\WS03XP32) into the shared directory D:\PUSHWS03\I386. 3) Edit the Unattend.txt file with Notepad or another text-editor to include your customizations. At a minimum you should change the items in the [UserData] section of the file. For Server Installations the [LicenseFilePrintData] section should be edited to specify the License type, and the number of users if the license type is PerServer. 4) Create the driver install directory structure and copy the driver files to it. NOTE: The PUSHCOPY.BAT file provided with the drivers in the \APPS\SETUP\PUSH directory copies the appropriate files for the installation. PUSHCOPY also copies the components needed to perform the automated installations contained in the [GuiRunOnce] section of the sample UNATTEND.TXT file. These include an unattended installation of Intel(R) PROSet for Windows Device Manager. Example: From a Windows Server 2003 command prompt where e: is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive: e: cd \APPS\SETUP\PUSH (you must be in the \APPS\SETUP\PUSH directory to run PUSHCOPY) pushcopy D:\PUSHWS03\I386 WS03 The above command creates the $OEM$ directory structure and copies 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 line: ; Command0="%systemdrive%\WMIScr\Install.bat" is uncommented from unattend.txt. See the "Directory Structure for Unattended Installation Files" section of this document for more information about the directory structure and file layout of the $OEM$ directory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instructions for Creating Teams and VLANs (Optional) 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 Windows Server 2003, create a directory in the $OEM$\$1 directory called WMIScr. For example, on Windows Server 2003, the directory is $OEM$\$1\WMIScr. 5) Copy the SavResDX.vbs and WmiConf.txt files to the WMIScr directory. Additionally, create a batch file and rename it to Install.bat. 6) Locate the batch file, Install.bat, in $OEM$\$1\WMIScr. Edit the batch file by removing the comment the preceeds the second START command. The file should look like the follow when finished: Start /wait %systemdrive%\drivers\net\INTEL\APPS\ProsetDX\2KXPWS03\DxSetup.exe /i /qw /li %temp%\dxsetup.log ANS=1 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deployment Methods Make sure that you have a copy of a network bootable MS-DOS* floppy that connects to the Z:\PUSHWS03 directory. Use it to boot the destination system (the one you want to push install to) and connect to this shared network directory. Run this command at the \\Server\PUSHWS03\i386) prompt: winnt /u:Z:\I386\unattend.txt /s:Z:\I386 /t:c where Z: equals mapped drive 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 teams/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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft Documentation for Unattended Installations of Windows Server 2003 For a complete description of the parameters supported in Unattend.txt see the DEPLOY.CHM document in the DEPLOY.CAB cabinet file on the Windows Server 2003 CD. To obtain the document, use Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater to open DEPLOY.CAB in the \SUPPORT\TOOLS directory on the CD. Other documents and utilities in the DEPLOY.CAB file provide details and tools for setting up a variety of unattended installation methods. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sample Unattend.txt file for Windows Server 2003 [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes OemPnPDriversPath = "\drivers\net\INTEL\PRO100\WS03XP2K;\drivers\net\INTEL\PRO1000\WS03XP2K;\drivers\net\INTEL\APPS\INTELAMT\DRIVERS\WS03XP" TargetPath= * DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore Filesystem=LeaveAlone OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade=No ; This switch prevents the user setup dialog from running when ; Windows Server 2003 starts for the first time.
