Editor's Note: Last week we published the Scripts for Imaging, which are the scripts used in this solution. They make a lot more sense after you read this article. Sorry for any confusion we caused by publishing them out of order.

- Overview - How to get it working

Target

Standard installation of Windows XP PRO on existing and new workstations
In the event of failure: only recover the system (C:) partition, without destroying any other partition.
Automatic installation with a complete driver-set for a particular workstation.
No need to add drivers or utilities after installing when using this procedure: all-in-one solution.
The possibility to make unique images from workstations.
Easy to use, even for personnel with little or no linux knowledge.
The complete process must be easy to adjust: when software updates are available they can be implemented with little or no effort.

Solution

Make a bootable FAT32 partition. Put all the necessary installation ( Windows XP Pro) files on that partition and configure all the files, like WINNT.SIF and SYSPREP.INF, to make the installation fully unattended.
Make sure the total image is dynamic, use add-on images.
Put all the images on a ZENworks imaging server.
Create a menu with the proper options. Make sure the menu is easy to adjust. Place the menu in the TFPT directory. Download the menu when the workstation starts with PXE.

Action

When you use add-on images, it is possible to make logical modules and use them together to construct a complete solution.

This is why I have selected the following basic images:

XPSP2NL.ZMG
- This image holds a bootable Fat32 partition and all the necessary files for a standard Windows XP SP2 installation.
- Attention: WINNT.SF is not in this image because it is a configuration file! That's why I put it in the TXTFILES.ZMG. (see below)
SYSPREP.ZMG
- This image includes the Sysprep directory and all the necessary Sysprep files.
INSTALL.ZMG
- The extra software that would be installed after the Windows XP Pro installation has completed.
TXTFILES.ZMG
- All the text files (configuration and batch files).
ADDINF.ZMG
- Because there are many different monitors/screens and all of them have to be accessible from all the workstations, I put the INF files in this add-on image.

Overview - How to get it working

Prepare bootable FAT32 image.
XPSP2NL.ZMG

Prepare configuration and batch files.

Prepare general add-on images.
   SYSPREP.ZMG
   INSTALL.ZMG
   TXTFILES.ZMG
   ADDINF.ZMG

Prepare driver add-on images
DRIVERS.ZMG

Prepare bootable FAT32 image.

I have chosen to start with a FAT32 partion because this is the easiest way to adjust files. During the installation I convert the partition to the NTFS file system.

The size is 1Gb because I don't like to place an image on a smaller partition. When the image is restored it will be placed on a 10Gb partition.

What do you need to create the image?

Working ZENworks environment.
Workstation with 2x CD/DVD player.
Bootable Windows PE CD/DVD.
You can download a PEBuilder from: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder
Installation CD Windows XP Pro.
Volume license key for Windows XP Pro.
Optional: VMware version 5

Activities:

On the 1st HDD create an active FAT32 partition of 1Gb.
Place the Windows PE CD/DVD in the master CD/DVD player and the Windows XP pro CD in the other CD/DVD player.
Start workstation.
It is not necessary that you start the network support.

Start <CD/DVD>:/I386/WINNT32.exe /makelocalsource.

Choose the option: "New Installation (Advanced)".

Accept the license agreement.

Type the volume license product key.

Don't change anything here.

Skip the upgrade to the NTFS File system.

This is the last screen.

As soon as the installation finishes, it will stop and return you to Windows PE.
Delete the file WINNT.SIF from the directory C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT. The file needs some extra configuration and we're going to do that later on.

The complete directory structure should look like the next picture.

You can leave all the other configurable files.

Reboot the workstation with PXE and make a image with the next command:

Img <IP address> //<IP address>/<UNC path>XPSP2<country>.ZMG

The first image is ready to use.

Configuration and batch files.

You must understand the working of each separate batch file and the sequence in which they are being used. If you don't understand either, the total process will be hard to manage.

After you restored the images and the workstation has rebooted, the installation will start. The file WINNT.SIF from the directory $WIN_NT$.~BT will be used during the first installation.

From the section [GuiRunOnce] in WINNT.SIF I start a new batch file, \SYSPREP\INSTALL.CMD

The batch file INSTALL.CMD calls another batch file CNAME.CMD.

This batch file determines the mac address from the workstation. This will be used as workstation name. The batch file also constructs the configuration file SYSPREP.INF.

When this file has been created, I execute the program SYSPREP.EXE with the option Reseal.

The final installation will take place after the reboot.

From the [GuiRunOnce] section I call the batch file \INSTALL\1BOOT.CMD.

The 1BOOT.CMD places registry settings in HKLM\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx.

With these settings it is possible to start other programs, like the Java client, UPHclean, Contextless login, Novell client, ZENworks client.

You can configure these programs to run unattended with the AdminStudio.

1BOOT.CMD also calls \INSTALL\MODIFY.CMD.

MODIFY.CMD places \INSTALL\2BOOT.CMD in HKLM\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx.

With 2BOOT.CMD I change registry settings, remove several LNK files, 1BOOT.CMD, MODIFY.CMD en 2BOOT.CMD.

With this knowledge we are ready to start creating TXTFILES.ZMG.

Overview of directories and files and the sequence of using them.

Directory	File name
$WIN_NT$.~BT	WINNT.SIF
SYSPREP	INSTALL.CMD
SYSPREP	CNAME.CMD
INSTALL	1BOOT.CMD
INSTALL	MODIFY.CMD
INSTALL	2BOOT.CMD

Don't forget to change the pink markings in the files.

You must rename all the long name files with this option.

General Add-on images.

The easiest way to make add-on images is to drag and drop.

Example: TXTFILES.ZMG

Start IMGEXPL.EXE

Browse to the correct directory.

Drag this directory and drop it in the right window pane of IMGEXPL.EXE
All the directories and files will be imported in the add-on image.

Save the add-on image File -> Save As.

The add-on is ready.

ADDINF.ZMG

In the INF directory I placed all the monitor INF files.

Driver add-on images

DRIVERS.ZMG

The contents of a driver add-on differs for every computer model/piece of hardware, but the general structure must be the same. In WINNT.SIF (OemPnPDriversPath) you have an example of this structure.

Make sure the name for the driver add-on is unique and without spaces for use in the linux menu.

You can put these images with PXE and the command IMG or use a menu.

For the linux menu see http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/15578.html
