How to prepare Windows Installation Discs

[gremagehan]

Hello List,

I'm looking for some Informations about preparing the Windows
Installation  CD's (XP Pro).
It should be possible to prepare an installation disc with Windows
including all Service packs.
How to do that? It is possible to prepare installation CD for more than
one  machine?
And what about the Windows 7?
We prepare every week  up to 20  PC's as a part of our measurement systems.
Therefore it  is not our main topic, but I thing it is better to install
OS with all the updates
than make online update with every box.

Thank you for your answers

Have a nice day
Martin

Martin,

You can use slip streaming to create a standardized install cd or base image. You might be better of (depending on your setup) utilizing a (RIS install for windows xp or WDS for windows 7) with a wsus server for standardized updates.

As I said. Depending on your network setup. For this google is your friend.

Hello,

Sorry for my bad English, i hope this message will be understandable!

We are currently using the MS software MDT 2010 (Migration Deployment Tool)
wich allow you to install OS without human intervention.

To realise this for windows Seven and XP you need a Windows Server 2008 R2
and MDT 2010.

Nevertheless, maybe this system isn't exactly what you are looking for,
because the CD created by this tool is just a live CD allowing the
connection to MDT server and dowloading OS, Software, Service Pack etc.

We have realised scenarios for Windows XP and Windows 7, and we install
automatically Office, our Antivirus, TightVNC, Acrobat reader etc. with only
two clic in about 40 minutes.

About compatibility with multiple computers, it's not a problem because even
if the OS haven't drivers for your computer, you can add them manualy in MDT
Server.

Finaly if you have 10 computers models (for exemple), you can generate image
(.wim file) at the end of the process, and then update this image througt
MDT. The advantage of updating is you haven't to reinstall completly a
computer if you only have one security fix to add!

This tool is very powerfull, but need a lot of configuration to do this with
only two or three mouse clic. If you don't care to clic on Next button
during the installation phase, you can install MDT and create your basic
scenario in 30 minutes and deploy it in 20 minutes.

Regards

Jérémie Bécousse

Hi Martin,

Here are some write-ups that cover the XP, 2000, and 2003 server aspect.

How to integrate software updates into your Windows installation source files:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;828930


How to slipstream hotfixes that replace pre-existing driver files:

After you create Windows XP Service Pack 3 slipstreamed media, your product key is not accepted
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950722


The Windows & solution center does not list anything for slipstream with W7 yet, but I am sure it eventually will:

HI there.

There are also solution like u can directly customise all the
components of windows XP via "Windows XPe" in windows XPe u can also
make a live Cd sort of known as Horms CD by MS and have a look at
windows embedded standard can make vista in similar manner and would
be cost effective also if on a large scale..

Cheers
:)

I have used this tool in the past to make an ISO image of all the updates required to the date the tool is run.
http://www.h-online.com/security/features/Offline-Update-746179.html 

Very useful for creating windows systems offline and having them fully patched prior to connecting them toi the network.

It is still two steps install OS then install patches but you do not need to connect to Windows Update to do it.

Dear friends
thank you very much for the answers. Now I must read trough and find
that what I need.

The sequence of  the installation is important in my opinion.
Is the right sequence assigned by this software (nliteos for example)?
