3. Leave the MS-DOS diskette in the drive and restart the computer. 4. Format the primary partition using FORMAT C: /S 5. Install the Windows operating system (Windows XP or Windows 2000) that you want on your target computers. Do not allow the Windows installation program to reformat the hard disk. 6. Access and run the IBM Customization Program (IBMCP.EXE). This program might be on portable media or a shared drive. 7. Sysprep preparation: For Windows 2000: – Obtain the Microsoft Sysprep program designed for your operating system.The Windows 2000 version of the Sysprep program is available from the Microsoft Web site at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/tools/sysprep/license.asp – You will need the following files: SYSPREP.EXE and SETUPCL.EXE. – Copy the SYSPREP.EXE and SETUPCL.EXE files into the C:\SYSPREP folder. – If you are creating a Windows 2000 image, obtain the SHUTDOWN.EXE file from one of the following sources and copy it into the C:\IBMWORK folder: Windows NT® 4.0 Resource Kit Support Tools at: http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/recommended/ntkit/default.asp Windows 2000 Resource Kit at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/default.asp For Windows XP – Obtain the Microsoft Sysprep program designed for your operating system.The Windows XP version of the Sysprep program is available from the Microsoft Web site at: http://www.microsoft.com Or on the Windows XP CD in the \SUPPORT\TOOLS\DEPLOY.CAB file. You will need the following files: SYSPREP.EXE, SETUPCL.EXE, and FACTORY.EXE. – Copy the SYSPREP.EXE, SETUPCL.EXE, and FACTORY.EXE files into the C:\SYSPREP folder. 8. The IBM Customization Program creates an empty TAG file for Windows 2000 (C:\IBMWORK\WIN2000) and Windows XP Professional (C:\IBMWORK\XPPRO). If you are making a Windows XP Home image, rename C:\IBMWORK\XPPRO to C:\IBMWORK\XPHOME. 9. If necessary, install any application that will be common across all of your target computers. If you have applications that you cannot make into a module, now may be a good time to install them. These application will then become part of your base operating system module. Note: This step is optional. You can include common applications as part of your operating-system module or you can build separate application modules and control them through your base map. 10.Make any other modifications to the image that you feel are necessary for your custom installation. 11.To automate Sysprep do the following: 56 ThinkVantage Technologies: Using ImageUltra Builder
– Edit the C:\IBMWORK\PRODKEYP.FM file to include your Windows Product ID key. You will need to edit all three lines; – You will also need to enter information into the USER SETTINGS of your Base Map. Please refer to “Create your base map” on page 66 12.Use the following procedure to modify the BOOT.INI file so by default, the source computer will boot to DOS instead of Windows: a. From the Windows desktop, right-click My Computer and then click Properties. b. Click the Advanced tab. c. Click the Startup and Recovery button. d. In the Default Operating System field, use the drop-down menu to select either DOS or Microsoft Windows, whichever is present. Do not select Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional/fastdetect, Microsoft Windows XP Professional/fastdetect, or Microsoft Windows XP Home/fastdetect. e. Click OK. 13.Run SYSPREP.EXE as follows: a. Windows 2000: Run C:\SYSPREP\SYSPREP -quiet b. Windows XP: Run C:\SYSPREP\SYSPREP.EXE -factory -quiet Important: For Windows XP, it is mandatory to run the -factory -quiet command. 14.Use either Symantec Ghost or Symantec DeployCenter software to create the image files. If you intend to deploy the image using CDs, make sure you use the tools provided with Ghost and Symantec DeployCenter to segment the image into files that can fit on CDs. 15.Store the image file in its own folder. In the case of CD deployment, where you have to segment the image into CD-sized files, store all of the files in a single folder. Make sure the folder is in a location that is accessible to the ImageUltra Builder console. 16.Store the following files used to create the image (in our example we used Symantec DeployCenter) in the same folder as the image file. – PQIMGCTR.EXE, PQIMGCTR.OVL PQDPLCTR.RTC – Store any batch files or script files you may have created in the same folder as the image file. 1.16.3 Add the donor image to the ImageUltra Builder Repository Complete the following instructions to insert the module: Chapter 1.
