Customizing source server settings

This topic describes the variables used by ServerGuide Scripting Toolkit, Windows Edition and explains how to customize them for your server.

ServerGuide Scripting Toolkit, Windows Edition uses variables to set the following source server attributes:

Server name
Shared folder name
User ID and password
Network share drive assignment

These values are located in the [Network Share Settings] section of the .ini files used by Toolkit.

Even if you accept the other defaults as part of the installation, it might be necessary to change the server name variable to match your server.

The Toolkit also uses variables to set the following TCP/IP configuration attributes:

DHCP
Client IP address and subnet mask
Gateway address
Windows PE firewall

These values are located in the [Network TCP/IP Settings] section of the .ini files used by Toolkit.

The default value for DHCP is Yes, indicating that Toolkit will use DHCP to obtain IP addresses. If you use the default value for DHCP, it is not necessary to modify any of the other IP address variables. If you choose to use static addresses, you must check the other IP address variables to ensure that they are appropriate for your network configuration.

For more information about these variables, see the appropriate sections in Table 1.
