This section describes the steps required to set up the
source server for the Toolkit.
After you have installed the
Toolkit,
you must complete the following steps before using the source server:
- Add files to the source tree.
- Provide or update the Windows answer file.
- To perform network installations, you must
also complete these steps:
- Share the Toolkit folder. For
example: C:\sgshare.
- Create a user ID and password with access to the Toolkit folder. The Toolkit uses the default value of sgtk0clnt for
both ID and password. If you choose to use a different ID and password,
you must change the ID and password values in the Network Settings
section of the Toolkit Settings .ini file.
- If the deployment scenarios will be built on a different system
from the source server, the required System Enablement Packs (SEPs) must be installed
on the source server before you perform a deployment. For more information
about SEPs, see Downloading and installing System Enablement Packs (SEPs).
Attention: A fully automated ServerGuide Scripting Toolkit CD, DVD, or USB
solution has the ability to re-partition and reformat a system without
warning. For best results, to avoid accidental loss of data, remove
the CD, DVD, or USB key
from the system boot order on the source server as soon as it is no
longer required.
Source server default settings
The ServerGuide Scripting Toolkit, Windows Edition comes configured to use
a set of defaults for access to the source server. If you do not want
to use these defaults, you must change them in the .ini files
used by the Toolkit, located in
the sgdeploy\SGTKWinPE\ScenarioINIs directory.
The
Toolkit uses the following default
settings:
- Server name: sgtksrv
- Shared directory name: sgshare
- User ID and password: sgtk0clnt
These settings are only necessary for network share deployments.
For more information about changing these settings, see
Customizing source server settings.
