What we'll be going over: Windows Automated Toolkit ImageX AutoIT Scripting Windows 7 configuration GRUB WinPE 3 WDS Windows Deployment Services

Create a WinPE CD

Before we do anything with Windows, we need to download the WAIK toolkit. Download Link I will now go through the creation process. A walk through on the process can be found on the Microsoft site using the following link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799303(WS.10).aspx We will use copype.cmd to create the files for WinPE and oscdimg to create an ISO image.

Create system partitions

Use your new WinPE CD to boot your system. We will now do the following: Use a command line utility called Diskpart

Create 3 drive partitions 1 FAT32, 2 NTFS

Assign Drive letters to the partitions

Set ID's for the partitions

Specify a partition that will be the primary boot (Active)

Create restore partition

We are now going to install WinPE onto our 3rd partition. Xcopy [CDDrive]:\*.* D:\ - The drive of the 3rd partition To make it easy to update or redeploy later, I always capture the restore drive to a WIM file. Boot the PC with the WinPE CD and run ImageX to capture the restore drive. X:\imagex.exe /capture D:\ X:\WinPE.wim Restore Partition

Install Windows

Install Windows to your specification

Capture the image of the Windows installation imagex.exe /capture C:\ D:\Windows7.wim Base image

Now you can install any custom programs DEMO: imagex.exe /apply D:\Windows7.wim 1 C:\

file:///D:/Windows7.wimfile:///D:/Windows7.wimfile:///D:/Windows7.wimfile:///D:/Windows7.wimfile:///D:/Windows7.wimfile:///D:/Windows7.wim

Boot Menu

Windows XP Boot.ini

Windows Vista/7 BCD

3rd party MBR

Install GRUB

Download GRUB GRUBInst GRUB4DOS

Open Command Line [MenuDrive]:\grubinst .exe (hd0)

And before you know it, GRUB is now installed into the MBR of your system

Customizing Windows 7 Image

Setup account access/ restrictions Install applications/ utilities Customize Student profile Hack registry to disable UAC (VERY IMPORTANT) Create/Copy scripts that prepare system after Sysprep Capture Student Profile Sysprep machine and shutdown Capture WIM Image

System Scripts What do we need the script to do without user intervention? We need to prevent users from interfering with the script. Sysprep will destroy our profile changes, so we need to get them back by applying our Student profile image. Enable UAC. Turn off Internet Explorer RunOnce wizard. We need to rename our system. Re-assign permissions to the users profiles, as Sysprep breaks the permissions of non-admins. Re-arm activation Enable mouse and keyboard controls. Reboot
