.Hardware in the computers is automatically detected as the department-specific image is installed.When customer service representatives boot their computers from the image for the first time, the Mini-Setup Wizard prompts them to supply the computer name.At this point, the deployment process is complete.Since the department has a high rate of employee turnover, instead of redeploying the computer, the administrator needs merely run Sysprep to invoke the Mini-Setup Wizard and change the computer name for the new user.Example 2: Deploying Remote Office ServersScenarioThe IT department of a large business will be deploying Windows 2000-based servers over the next several months.Many of these servers are in regional offices with no IT administrator.Based on company requirements and the Windows 2000-based server infrastructure design, the regional server configuration consists of Windows 2000-based servers running file and printer sharing, Web services with COM+, and a Web-based order processing application.The regional servers will all have virtually identical configurations.The IT department decides to use Sysprep to duplicate these regional servers.They plan on creating a Sysprep image together with bootable CDs, which will be sent to the regional offices with a simple set of instructions for the end users.All servers in this business have fixed Internet Protocol (IP) addresses; therefore, each server will have to be configured for its unique address when it is set up at a regional office.Another element in this scenario is that some of these servers will need to run Active Directory and function as domain controllers.As mentioned previously, a domain controller cannot be duplicated, but a server can: Thus, once a newly configured server boots up for the first time, it can be converted to a domain controller by running dcpromo, which invokes the Active Directory Installation Wizard.ProcessTo create the master image, the administrator begins by building a Windows 2000-based server on hardware similar to the servers available at the regional offices.The administrator installs and configures Internet Information Services (IIS), the Web application, and Terminal Services in Remote Administration mode, so the central IT group can easily administer the remote server.Once the server is built and configured, the administrator runs Sysprep, and then runs disk duplication software.The administrator uses CD-creation software to create a bootable CD.To prevent any local configuration problems and to reduce the risk of human error in entering information manually, the IT group decides to distribute unique Sysprep.inf files on floppy disks rather than rely on the Mini-Setup Wizard to prompt the local regional user to enter IP address information.When a regional office employee is ready to build the Windows 2000-based server, the user boots from the CD to restore the image.After the image is restored and immediately when Windows 2000 starts to load from the hard disk, the regional user inserts the floppy disk, prompting the Mini-Setup Wizard to capture the information from the Sysprep.inf answer file.The following Sysprep.inf answer file is used to completely automate the server installation and provide the IP address and computer name:[Unattended]UnattendMode = FullUnattendedOemSkipEula = YesOemPreInstall = NoTargetPath = \WINNT[GuiUnattended]AdminPassword = *AutoLogon = YesOEMSkipRegional = 1TimeZone = 20OemSkipWelcome = 1[UserData]FullName = "Corporate Server Name"OrgName = "Company Name, Inc."ComputerName = 005-REGSRV-1[LicenseFilePrintData]AutoMode = PerSeat[GuiRunOnce]Command0 = "dcpromo /answer:ansfile.txt"[Identification]JoinDomain = REGDOMCreateComputerAccountInDomain = YesDomainAdmin = CORPDOM\IDAcctDomainAdminPassword = password[Networking][NetAdapters]Adapter1 = params.Adapter1[params.Adapter1]INFID = *[NetClients]MS_MSClient = params.MS_MSClient[params.MS_MSClient]RPCSupportForBanyan = No[NetServices]MS_SERVER = params.MS_SERVERFor those servers designated to become domain controllers, once the Mini-Setup Wizard completes, the computer restarts and executes the instructions in the GuiRunOnce section of the answer file, which in this case executes the script that installs the server as a domain controller running Active Directory [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
