  1. Windows Vista Deployment Tools Anders Björling Senior Consultant Microsoft

  2. Agenda Windows Imaging Format (WIM) files Windows Deployment Services (WDS) Windows Automating Installation KIT (WAIK) System Image Manager (SIM) ImageX Windows PE USMT 3.0

  3. Going Out on a WIM File-based Image Format Introduced with SMS 2003 OSD Feature Pack *Store Multiple Images within one actual file File based imaging Enables compression and single instancing (a technique which allows you to store two or more copies of a file for the space cost of one copy) Service an image offline Install a disk image on partitions of any size Provides API for WIM image for developers Non-destructive deployment

  4. Why Do I Care? Vista ships on a WIM (Install.WIM) Windows PE ships on a WIM inside the WAIK (Winpe.wim)

  5. What Else Has Changed? Going away: Unattend.txt, Sysprep.inf, Winbom.ini, Cmdlines.txt => unattend.xml WINNT.exe, WINNT32.exe, and source-based installs => setup SYSOCMGR => OCSETUP (online) ocsetup.exe "DHCPServer" /quiet /norestart SYSOCMGR => PKGMGR (offline) pkgmgr /o:"C:\wim_mount\;C:\wim_mount\Windows" /n:"C:\unattend.xml"

  6. HAL HAL independence One image can support all hardware No support for non-ACPI hardware BUT: One Hal for 32 bit arch and one Hal for 64 bit arch

  7. Image-Based Setup (IBS) All Windows Vista release will ship as a Sysprep’d image (install.WIM) Setup applies (install.WIM) Images, using Unattend answer files (Unattend.XML) for custom installation Windows Vista Setup supports upgrading FAT/FAT32 to NTFS, with the default format type NTFS Two ways to “Install” Windows Vista: Apply install.WIM and use Unattend.XML to customize setup.EXE Install Vista, configure, capture, and deploy using Vista Imaging tools (ImageX)

  8. Digging into the tools Tools of the Trade

  9. IntroductionDesign Goals Deliver great ‘in-box’ OS provisioning solution Deliver platform components to enable custom solutions Remote boot capability Plug-in model for PXE Server extensibility Client-server communication protocol Unify on single image format - WIM Improve management experience MMC (UI) and command-line tools Migration / Co-existence path from RIS

  10. IntroductionProduct Technology Roadmap Unify infrastructure, consolidate to 2 clearly differentiated solutions Address critical short-term SMS & ADS needs Historically • 3 overlapping solutions • Dissimilar infrastructures • Gaps in functionality • Address key SMS & ADS customers needs • Still have overlapping solutions and dissimilar infrastructures • WDS platform designed for IT Generalist / MORG, LORG & core OEM scenarios • SMS designed for MORG & LORG advanced scenarios • ADS scenarios largely incorporated into SMS SMS 2003 OSD FP SMS 2003 10/03 SMS v4 Q404 SMS v4 OS Deployment builds on WDS VSMT ADS 1.0 9/03 ADS 1.1 Transfer technology Q404 WDS in LH Server WDS RTW RIS inWS 2003 Longhorn Server Timeframe & Beyond CY 2003 2004 2005 Longhorn Client Timeframe

  12. ScenariosNew Machine Deployment End-to-end solution for clean installs Bare metal Machine re-provisioning Deployment of Windows Vista, Longhorn Server, Windows XP, Win2K3, and Win2K Full sysprep image support (in WIM format) New client application replaces OSChooser PXE boot and non-PXE boot options Fully automated installs from the moment of power on Integration with Active Directory

  13. ScenariosPXE Boot of Windows PE Common WinPE uses Custom deployment solution Recovery environment RAMDISK boot support for WinPE 2.0 Improved download speeds Adjustable TFTP block size WIM format provides compression and single instancing Simplified MGMT tasks for adding / removing images May be achieved without Active Directory

  14. ScenariosExtensibility Points Scalable PXE server built on unified architecture Replaceable plug-ins augment core networking functionality Published APIs Able to run without Active Directory WinPE PXE boot files for 3rd party PXE Server use Client < - > Server communication protocol Develop custom deployment application SMS & BDD use extensibility points

  15. Scenario WalkthroughEnd-to-End Deployment Installing the server Configuring the server Adding images Deploying a client Maintaining images Maintenance Configuration Image Add Deployment Installation

  16. Scenario WalkthroughInstalling the Server Methods of installation Server 2003 = install the hotfix / service pack Longhorn Server = install the server role Actions Copy server binaries Create services Maintenance Configuration Image Add Deployment Installation

  17. Scenario WalkthroughConfiguring the Server Initialize the server ‘REMINST’ share and folder structure created TFTP root established Services started Authorizing the server in DHCP no longer a requirement Maintenance Configuration Image Add Deployment Installation

  18. Scenario WalkthroughAdding Images Boot Images WinPE 2.0 in WIM format Image usually contains WDS Client (setup binaries) PXE boot binaries Install Images Sysprepped OS image in WIM format Basic option – pull images from DVD Custom option –Admin specified WIM files Maintenance Configuration Image Add Deployment Installation

  19. Scenario WalkthroughImage Deployment Choose a boot method for WinPE PXE boot Other media – CD, DVD, hard drive, UFD, etc… Complete WDS Client installation screens Complete first boot actions (OOBE) Maintenance Configuration Image Add Deployment Installation

  20. Scenario WalkthroughImage Maintenance Creation of custom sysprepped images using the WDS image capture utility Updates include drivers, language packs, and hotfixes / QFEs Offline servicing = updating an image prior to installation onto new hardware Bring image offline and service on WDS Server Online servicing = updating the image post installation to new hardware Use Windows SIM to create unattend files and apply packages during deployment Maintenance Configuration Image Add Deployment Installation

  21. Windows Deployment Services

  22. Transition from RISUpgrade from and Co-existence with RIS WDS binaries but RIS functionality OSChooser RISETUP and RIPREP MGMT through RIS utilities Modes of WDS Operation Legacy Mixed Native “Best of both worlds” WinPE and OSChooser RISETUP, RIPREP and WIM MGMT of new: WDS MMC / CLI MGMT of legacy: RIS utils No RIS functionality WinPE only WIM only MGMT through WDS MMC / CLI Only mode available on LH Server Transition

  25. Automated Installation Kit

  26. System Image Manager (SIM) Replacement for Setup Manager Interacts live with a “catalog” of an installation Generates unattend.XML Built in validation of unattend.xml Can be confusing at first

  27. Unattend.XML <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"> <settings> <component name="setup"> <UserData> <AcceptEula>yes</AcceptEula> <FullName>Windows User</FullName> <ComputerName>winvista-beta1</ComputerName> <ProductKey>ABCDE-FGHIJ-KLMNO-PQRST-UVWXY</ProductKey> </UserData> <AutoLogon> <Logon UserName="username" Password="password" Count="3" /> </AutoLogon> <ImageInstall> <Image> <InstallTo DiskID="0" PartitionID="1" /> </Image> </ImageInstall> </component> </settings> </unattend>

  28. System Image Manager

  29. Tools of the Trade: ImageX Command line tool for WIM management Learn to use this Mount Windows PE to a directory to modify Mount a Windows Vista WIM to insert an unattend file Mount a Windows Vista WIM to insert a script,fileor hotfix Split a WIM into distribution chunks (CD size) Capture/Apply a disk Contains an API

  30. Image Editing Enabled with file system mini-filter (wimfltr.sys) Mount an image to a specified folder Images must be mounted to an existing file system Allows for read or read/write access to an image Changes are queued and can be committed or discarded with an unmount operation Mounted Image 2 Windows Mount Program Files Temp Users 3 tmp files 1 4 Mount(RW) Commit Images vista.wim

  31. ImageX

  32. MUI Support Multi-language support (MUI) Windows Vista is language-neutral at its core No localized versions Multiple language packs available for Enterprise Languages can be added and removed

  33. Pkgmgr additional language

  34. Windows PE Bootable, special purpose Windows environment Not DOS Use for these Windows Vista tasks Installation Troubleshooting Recovery

  35. Windows PE 2.0 Now available to everyone for deploying Windows Vista! Key part of the Windows Vista deployment and recovery process “Hot” (online) Plug n Play support Can be serviced offline just like Windows Vista Inject drivers, add or remove optional components offline (PEIMG) Inject drivers online (Drvload) Boot from RAM with compressed WIM image Creates a writeable 32MB ramdisk

  36. Windows PE 2.0 Things you can do Can format partitions with NTFS Network access using Windows Vista drivers Can use VBScript for complex tasks Extensible with XML Unattend.xml on WinPE

  37. Tools for Working With Windows PE Windows PE tools DiskPart Drvload (Online) Oscdimg PEImg (Offline) BCDEdit Edits the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) Use to add Windows PE to the boot menu
