Installing and Configuring Windows Deployment

Exercise 1.1 Services
Overview In this exercise, you will first create a new server and then install
and configure Windows Deployment Services so that you can
quickly install Windows servers in the future.
Mindset You need to first install and configure a WDS server. You then
need to add at least one boot and install image. You will then need
to perform a PXE boot with the WDS boot image and perform the
installation with the install image.

Exercise 1.2 Creating Windows Deployment Images

Overview In this exercise, you will prepare images (boot images and install
images) that will be used to deploy Windows.

Mindset WDS uses two images to deploy Windows. The boot image is used
to boot the computer, so that the installation can be started. The
install image is used to perform the actual Windows installation.
Completion time 20 minutes

Exercise 1.3 Generating an Autounattend.xml File

Overview You are ready to deploy Windows. However, if you install using
WDS, you will have to interact with the Windows installation
program by choosing applicable settings during the installation
process. To help automate the installation, in this exercise, you will
create an Autoattend.xml file and then check a provided
Autounattend.xml file.
Mindset You need to create an unattended xml file and then you need to
configure the WDS server to use the Unattended.xml file. When
configuring the unattended file, it must be configured to include
each prompt during the installation process.
Completion time 20 minutes

What are the two ways to create or modify an unattend xml

file?

Exercise 1.4 Deploying a Windows Image

Overview In this exercise, you will deploy a Windows image from the WDS
server while using the autounattended.xml file.

Mindset By default, if you deploy Windows images using WDS, you will
still be performing a manual installation over the network if you do
not specify and configure autounattend.xml files.
Completion time 10 minutes

If you have a mix of 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows,

which architectures should you add a unattended installation
file for?

Lab
Challenge Adding Drivers to a Windows Image
Overview To complete this challenge, you must demonstrate how to add
drivers to a Windows image by writing the steps to complete the
tasks described in the scenerio. Since the class servers do not have
drivers to add, just write the steps as if the drivers actually existed.
Mindset Over the last couple of months, you have been using WDS to
deploy Windows Server 2012 R2. Recently, you started to purchase
new servers that require additional drivers that are not included
with the Windows installation. You need to ensure that WDS will
deploy these drivers. You need to explain how to add drivers to a
Windows image.
