Steps to Automating Windows NT Deployment

Step 1 9 :uild the Windows NT setup script $ile %&NATT'ND.T(T).

Start 4y creating a 4asic Windows NT setup script! *ou can do this 4y using one of the e?amples that are included or 4y using the Windows NT Setup Manager! 6nce you ha.e created and tested your 4asic scriptO add the more ad.anced options of the Windows NT setup script! See Chapter 0O KThe Windows NT Setup Script $UN%TT&ND!T'T( #ileK for synta? and parameters and more details on creating your setup script! %lso re.iew Chapter 9O KCustomi;ing Windows NTK for information on automating your process 4eyond what is possi4le with the Windows NT setup script!
Step 9 :uild pre-installation pac!ages using the System Di$$erence tool %S/SDI00.'(').

Use the System Difference tool to automate pre-installation of applications during Windows NT setup! See Chapter O K%pplication 7re-+nstallation $S*SD+##!&'&(K for details on using the System Difference tool!
Step , 9 Create process to con$igure machine-speci$ic in$ormation.

Create a UniJueness Data4ase $UD2( file or create machine specific setup script files for each computer! *ou ha.e se.eral options for 4uilding a setup process that includes configuring systems with machine-specific information without reJuiring user interaction during setup! See Chapter /O KConfiguring Machine Specific +nformationK for details!

Step " - :uild process to automate your distri;ution method.

The final step is distri4uting the Windows NT source files and any other files to each computer! *ou can use a networ3 distri4ution pointO hard dri.e duplicationO software distri4ution tools such as Microsoft Systems Management Ser.er or a local de.ice such as a CD-,6M! +f you are installing Windows NT on a newly formatted hard dri.e you will need a 4oot dis3 to either access the networ3 or possi4ly access a local de.ice!

:uilding the Distri;ution Ser8er

2efore 4eginning the process of automating Windows NT setup you must 4uild a distri4ution ser.er! +n most cases the 4est distri4ution point is a networ3 ser.er! Ma3e sure you ha.e readO writeO and change pri.ileges on the networ3 ser.er you use!
Copy the Windows NT Source 0iles

To 4uild the distri4ution ser.erO copy Windows NT source files from the Windows NT retail CD to your networ3 ser.er! #or +ntel and +ntel compati4le4ased processors copy the +/8: directory and all of its contents to your networ3 ser.er!
Copy Custom 0iles &sing the <+'4< Directory

Windows NT setup includes a feature that can 4e used to automatically copy directoriesO standard MS-D6S 8!/ filesO and any tools needed for your automated installation processO to the local hard dri.e during setup! +t is 4ased on a pre-defined directory name and structure! +f you include this directory and structure in the root of your distri4ution pointO the files and directories will 4e copied to your local hard dri.e during Windows NT setup! The pre-defined directory name is 56&M5! +f Windows NT setup finds the 56&M5 directory in the root of the distri4ution pointO it will copy all of the files found in this directory to the temporary directory created during the te?t mode portion of Windows NT setup!

Windows NT !" setup includes a feature that allows you to configure machinespecific information without ha.ing to create a uniJue setup script file for each machine!

Creating uniJue setup script files for each computer is the most simple method of configuring machine-specific information! +n additionO this method can ha.e a positi.e impact on cost of ownership since you can sa.e the original machine setup script file and use it in the future if you ha.e a hardware pro4lem that reJuires you to re-install the operating system and software applications! *ou can simply replace the failed hardware component or the entire computer and run Windows NT setup with your script again! There can 4e an up front cost associated with this method since you will li3ely find the need for a tool to automate the process of customi;ing each machine-specific setup scriptO a tedious and error prone tas3 when done with a simple te?t editor! The o.erall process is simpleO start 4y creating a Windows NT !" setup script file that includes all of the settings necessary for your preferred client configuration! This setup script file will 4e your template! Then copy the template to a uniJue filenameO modify it to include machine-specific information

with a te?t file editor such as Notepad!e?eO and sa.e the file! %utomating the process of customi;ing the template setup script with machine-specific information will li3ely mean creating your own tool! #or e?ampleO you could create a program that would replace to3ens you ha.e placed in your setup script template file! The program could pro.ide the setup technician with a user interface prompt as3ing for the computer name and networ3 cardO including networ3 card settingsO and replacing the to3ens you placed in the setup script file with strings you ha.e pre-tested then writing the uniJue setup script to dis3O pre.enting user error and speeding the process!

Windows NT !" setup has two distinct modes during the first modeO called character modeO one of the tas3s accomplished is to copy all of the files necessary to complete the setup process to a temporary directory on the local hard dri.e! +f you intend to use dis3 duplication to distri4ute Windows NT !" this is the point where you turn off the computer and duplicate the hard dri.e for other systems! This method of distri4ution presents a pro4lem if your goal is to create an entirely automated setup process that reJuires no input from a setup technician or an end user! This is 4ecause there is not an o4.ious way to set machine-specific settings 4efore shipping the machine to the end user! Aowe.erO you can do this in one of two ways! +f you ha.e set the machinespecific information in the setup script you createdO you can modify those settings on each of the duplicated hard dri.es!

Tip - After you ha&e created the snapshot file using the System Difference Tool in 'snap mode! (e &ery careful not to ma)e changes to the system that you do not want to include in the S*SDI++,file created during 'diff mode$ It is not uncommon for someone to mista)enly change something a(out the system configuration! nor is it unusual (ecause the (ase system is li)ely in a la( where a lot of testing is ta)ing place$ +or e%ample! if an application error occurs during application setup or configuration you should start o&er and do not ma)e changes to the color depth! &ideo resolution! computer name! user name! or user password$ These type of mista)es can result in a lot of wasted time and energy trying to determine the source of the error$ In general it is a good idea to -.uarantineyour (ase system after the snapshot file is created$

:uilding Application Images $or .reInstallation

The System Difference Tool $S*SD+##!&'&( can 4e used to pre-install most standard producti.ity applications! When possi4le you should use an applicationVs Ksilent modeK or Kunattended modeK setup feature if it is a.aila4le! +n some cases you will find that S*SD+##!&'& will not install a standard producti.ity application correctly! Microsoft does not support the use of S*SD+##!&'& for the installation of system ser.icesO applications that include system ser.icesO de.ice dri.ersO or networ3 client software! System ser.ices and de.ice dri.ers write to trees or .alues in the registry which are dynamic or were found to 4e sensiti.e to access 4y S*SD+##!&'& during testing! These trees and .alues are e?cluded from the Msnap and Mdiff modes in the S*SD+##!+N# file! +n some cases you may find that S*SD+##!&'& will successfully install these types of softwareO 4ut you cannot 4e sure until you test unless you 3now which trees and .alues the ser.ice or de.ice dri.er you are installing writes to in the registry! When you are in the process of creating System Difference Tool pac3agesO it is a good practice to create and test each pac3age separately rather than creating a snapshot file then installing se.eral applications 4efore creating a S*SD+##Efile pac3age! When you are testing it is also a good practice to test 4oth Mapply mode and Minf mode! +f one mode fails try the other!

Create an initial snapshot of your system! Use an account that has administrati.e pri.ileges on the local machine to ta3e a KsnapshotK of the state of your system! Use S*SD+## Msnap to create a snapshot file! +nstall the application and ma3e any configuration changes! 2e .ery careful not to ma3e any unintended changes to the system and use the same administrati.e account when installing the application! Create the application pac3age! Use S*SD+## Mdiff to create the pac3age!

Adding an Application Image to the Distri;ution Ser8er

The System Difference Tool has two modesO Minf and Mapply modeO that can 4e used to add an application image to your distri4ution ser.er! The two modes are interchangea4le 4ut ha.e some su4tle differences that may determine which method would wor3 4est in your en.ironment! +n 4oth casesO you must add 6&M7reinstallN*es to the =Unattended> section of your Windows NT setup script file!
S/SDI00 Min$ 4ode

S*SD+## Minf mode is the preferred method 4ecause) +t reJuires less manual effort on your part! +t is possi4le to edit the pac3age if pro4lems arise or if you find editing necessary for some other reason! +t can 4e more efficient on the networ3 4ecause the files 4eing copied are usually much smaller! %dding an application image to your distri4ution ser.er in Minf mode is automated! %ll necessary files in the pac3age are copied to the distri4ution ser.er and the command line that installs the pac3age is added to the CMD8+N&S!T'T! See Chapter 9O KCustomi;ing Window NTK for more information on CMD8+N&S!T'T! Using Minf mode ma3es it easier to ma3e manual changes to the contents of the pac3age! The Windows 99 style !+N# file that is used 4y Windows NT setup to ma3e the necessary changes to the registry and other system configuration files is also e?tracted from the System Difference Tool pac3age! This file is a te?t file that can 4e e?amined and edited to alter the configuration changes that ha.e 4een made in the registry or another system configuration file! %lsoO each of the files that were included in the application and su4seJuently added to the S*SD+## pac3age are e?tracted from the pac3ageO and then copied to the

56&M5 directory on your distri4ution share! +f neededO you can add files or remo.e files from that directory! See Chapter -O K@etting StartedK for more information on the 56&M5 directory! 2ecause each file is e?tracted from the System Difference Tool pac3age in Minf modeO the installation of the pac3age will li3ely result in significantly smaller files 4eing copied during the te?t mode phase of Windows NT setup than if Mapply mode were used! Copying smaller files o.er a networ3 can 4e more efficient than copying a .ery large file!
S/SDI00Mapply 4ode

S*SD+## Mapply mode is an alternati.e to Minf mode! +n general it is 4etter to use Minf modeO 4ut you may find that Mapply mode wor3s at times when Minf mode fails!

Tools to Customi3e Windows NT

The first step to automating the process of customi;ing Windows NT is to find a tool that will ma3e the necessary changes in your system configuration! To automate the processO the tool should include a feature that will allow you to e?ecute the process without user interaction! +n many cases this means that the tool can 4e run from a command line with command line parameters that specify the action to 4e ta3en! +n this section you will find some tools and e?amples that demonstrate how they might 4e used!
