  4. Understanding Windows Vista Deployment • Some highlights of WIM images • Single instancing • Non-destructive imaging • Ability to mount a WIM image and access via Windows Explorer • Hardware abstraction layer (HAL) independence • Three compression options: fast, maximum, and none Understanding Vista Deployment

  5. Understanding the Deployment Process • Two primary tools are used in capturing and deploying Windows Vista images. • ImageX is a command-line tool that enables you to capture, apply, and manage WIM images. • Windows PE is a minimal operating system that you can boot from CD or other media that enables you to run ImageX and other tools. Understanding Vista Deployment

  6. Understanding the Deployment Process (cont.) Understanding Vista Deployment

  7. Understanding the Deployment Process (cont.) • Windows Deployment Services (Windows DS) enables you to deploy Windows Vista remotely using Windows PE and Windows DS Server. • Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) manages WIM files and can be used to create an autounattend.xml file for use in unattended installations. Understanding Vista Deployment

  8. Creating a Windows PE Boot CD • Open the command prompt with administrator credentials and change the working directory to c:\program files\windows aik\tools\petools. • Type copype %Architecture designation% %Destination path% (for example, copype x86 c:\winpe) and then press Enter. Deploying Vista from an Image

  9. Creating a Windows PE Boot CD (cont.) • Type copy “c:\program files\windows aik\tools\x86\imagex.exe” c:\winpe\iso\ and then press Enter. • Change the working directory to c:\program files\windows aik\tools\petools. Deploying Vista from an Image

  10. Deploying Vista from an Image Creating a Windows PE Boot CD (cont.) Type oscdimg -n -bc:\winpe\etfsboot.com c:\winpe\ISO c:\winpe\winpe.iso. This creates a bootable ISO image file from the contents of the C:\winpe\ISO directory. Use third-party CD burning software to burn the winpe.iso ISO image to a writable CD.

  11. Preparing a Partition for an Image • Boot by using a bootable Windows PE CD. • In the command prompt window, type diskpart and then press Enter. • Type select disk 0 and press Enter. • Type clean and press Enter. • Type create partition primary and press Enter. Deploying Vista from an Image

  12. Preparing a Partition for an Image (cont.) • Type select partition 1 and press Enter. • Type active. Partition 1 is set as the active partition. • Type format. Partition 1 is formatted in NTFS. • Type exit and then press Enter. Deploying Vista from an Image

  13. Applying an Image from a Network Share • In the Windows PE command prompt window, type net use Y: \\ServerName\ShareName and press Enter. • Provide credentials in the form DomainName\UserName when prompted. • Type D:\imagex /apply y:\ImageFile ImageNumber ImagePath (for example, D:\imagex /apply y:\workstation1.wim 1 C:) and press Enter. Deploying Vista from an Image

  14. Applying an Image from a Network Share(cont.) • D is the drive letter where the Windows PE CD is inserted. • workstation1.wim is the name of an example WIM image that ImageX is applying. • 1 identifies which volume image within the WIM image that ImageX will apply. • C: is the path where ImageX will apply the image. Deploying Vista from an Image

  15. Applying an Image from a Network Share(cont.) Deploying Vista from an Image

  16. Applying an Image from Offline Media • In the Windows PE command prompt window, type copy d:\imagex.exe x:\ and press Enter. This copies the ImageX program to the RAM drive so that it will be accessible without the Windows PE CD in the drive. • Type X:\imagex /apply y:\ImageFile ImageNumber ImagePath (for example, X:\imagex /apply y:\workstation2.wim 1 C:) and press Enter. Deploying Vista from an Image

  17. Troubleshooting Roaming Profiles • Roaming profile problems are most commonly caused by the following: • Incorrect paths • Incorrect permissions • Connectivity problems Post-Deployment Tasks

  18. Troubleshooting Roaming Profiles (cont.) • Troubleshooting incorrect paths • Event 1525: User Profile Service Post-Deployment Tasks

  19. Troubleshooting Roaming Profiles (cont.) • Check to see whether the profile path is correct. • Open Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC). • Expand contoso.com and then select Users. • In the details pane, right-click the user and then click Properties. Post-Deployment Tasks

  20. Post-Deployment Tasks Troubleshooting Roaming Profiles (cont.) Check to see whether the profile path is correct (cont.) • Click the Profile tab. • Ensure that the entry in the Profile Path text box matches that of the intended profile path.

  21. Troubleshooting Roaming Profiles (cont.) Profile Path Post-Deployment Tasks

  22. Troubleshooting Roaming Profiles (cont.) • Troubleshoot incorrect permissions • If the permissions are not sufficient, you will see the following error in Event Viewer: Event 1521- User Profile Service Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you log off. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights. DETAIL - Access is denied. Post-Deployment Tasks

  23. Checking NTFS Permissions • Advanced NTFS permissions Select the user or group for which you want to check permissions and then click Edit. Post-Deployment Tasks

  24. Checking Share-Level Permissions Ensure that the permissions follow the best practice permissions scheme described in Table 2-4 or that they are correct for the scheme at your company. Post-Deployment Tasks

  25. Troubleshooting Folder Redirection • Troubleshooting Folder Redirection is very similar to troubleshooting roaming profiles because the three most common causes of problems are nearly the same. • Incorrect paths • Incorrect permissions or ownership • Connectivity problems Post-Deployment Tasks

  26. Troubleshooting Folder Redirection (cont.) • At least two instances of incorrect path errors can occur in Folder Redirection. • A network administrator changed the Folder Redirection policy to a non-existent target path (for example, a typo is made when changing target paths to a new server). • A new Folder Redirection policy contains a non-existent target path. Post-Deployment Tasks

  27. Editing the Target Path of a Folder Redirection Policy Edit the target path in the Root Path text box as needed and click OK. Post-Deployment Tasks

  28. Checking Permissions Post-Deployment Tasks

  29. Checking Ownership The owner of the item is listed in the Current owner of this item box. The owner of the target folder should be the user. If the user is not the owner, click Other Users or Groups. To add the user to the list of possible owners, select the user in the list and then click Apply. Post-Deployment Tasks

  30. Troubleshooting Connectivity • Folder Redirection can fail if connectivity to the server hosting the target path fails. When this happens, any data written to the folder will be stored on the local computer and will be synchronized with the server when connectivity is re-established. Post-Deployment Tasks

  31. You Learned • Windows Vista deployment, whether automated for an entire enterprise or performed individually on a computer, can be completed using WIM images. • All Windows Vista deployments that are based on Microsoft technologies follow a similar pattern regardless of their scope: Windows PE is booted and a WIM image (captured manually or on a Vista DVD) is used to supply source files. Summary

  32. You Learned (cont.) • You learned how to create a Windows PE Boot CD. • You learned how to use the ImageX /apply command. • You learned how to prepare a partition for an image. • You learned how to apply an image from a network share. Summary

  33. You Learned (cont.) • You learned how to apply an image from offline media. • Roaming profiles and Folder Redirection can fail for a number of reasons, including incorrect paths or permissions as well as connectivity problems. • You learned how to check to see whether paths are correct for roaming profiles or Folder Redirection. Summary

  34. You Learned (cont.) • You learned how to check NTFS and share permissions for roaming profiles and Folder Redirection. • You learned how to edit the target path of a Folder Redirection policy. Summary
