Scripting Toolkit for Windows and Linux
The STK for Windows and Linux is a server deployment product that delivers an unattended automated
installation for high-volume server deployments. The STK is designed to support ProLiant servers. The
toolkit includes a modular set of utilities and important documentation that describes how to apply these
tools to build an automated server deployment process.
The STK provides a flexible way to create standard server configuration scripts. These scripts are used to
automate many of the manual steps in the server configuration process. This automated server
configuration process cuts time from each deployment, making it possible to scale rapid, high-volume
server deployments.
For more information or to download the STK, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website .
