Preparing the Directory Structure for Deployment in Microsoft Windows PE
45
Setting Up a Directory Structure for Deployment
To perform a DTK-enabled deployment, you must create a deployment
directory structure on either a network share or your local workstation hard
drive. The deployment directory structure is a central repository for all
deployment files and can be used successively as a testing space, a repository
for a network deployment, and a repository to build a bootable deployment CD.
If you plan to perform a network-based deployment, you must set up the
directory structure on a network volume that is accessible from your
workstation, the source system (to generate configuration information), and
the target system (to deploy).
If you plan to run a scripted deployment from the DTK sample scripts, ensure
that the following files are correctly structured in the deployment directory.
The DTK sample scripts use this structure to set the default paths for
deployment. If you make changes to the directory structure, you must also
make changes to the sample scripts. The deployment directory structure
consists of the following files:
•
DTK utilities and files
•
System-specific directories
•
Operating system installation files directories
NOTE:
Do not create your DTK directory structure on a NetWare network volume.
The DTK network-based deployment is not supported from mapped NetWare
systems.
DTK Utilities and Files
All necessary DTK files are provided as part of the initial installation. It is
strongly suggested that you use the default directory structure created in the
initial installation of the DTK components. The sample scripts provided with
the DTK are set up to use these default paths. See Figure 3-1.
NOTE:
If you choose to create a directory structure for the DTK components that is
different from the one provided in the initial installation, carefully review and edit
each sample script (where necessary) to reflect the different directory structure.
A 32-bit unzip utility is needed to create the Dell utility partition. Ensure that
you copy this utility into one of the path directories of your Windows PE 1.0
image, preferably
\I386\system32
; for Windows PE 2.0, the path directory
should preferably be
\windows\system32
.
