EBS Deployment Scripts

Over the past few weeks I have been in front of a number of audiences discussing Essential Business Server.  As promised, here are the scripts I discussed to create your WindowsPE to deploy the OS portion of the EBS servers over the network:

 

call copype.cmd amd64 C:\winpe

imagex /mountrw C:\winpe\winpe.wim 1 C:\winpe\mount

peimg /inf=C:\drivers\nic\amd64\*.inf C:\winpe\mount\windows

peimg /prep C:\winpe\mount\Windows /f

imagex /unmount /commit C:\winpe\mount

copy C:\winpe\winpe.wim C:\winpe\ISO\sources\boot.wim

oscdimg -n -bC:\winpe\etfsboot.com C:\winpe\ISO C:\winpe\winpe.iso

Here is the script to create your bootable USB key:

Diskpart

                Sel disk 2

                Clean

                Cre part pri

                Active

                Assign

                Format fs=ntfs quick

Copy the content from the .ISO image to the USB stick

I should point out that these are NOT my scripts… To the best of my ability they can be traced to a presentation by Michael Nytrom and Greg Starks at TechEd.  I am indebted to both of them for helping to pave the way!
