Installing Windows applications and upgrades

You can use the Toolkit to create a complete deployment package that configures RAID, installs the Windows operating system, and installs selected applications and updates.

Complete the following prerequisite steps:

Add the Systems Director Agent files to the source tree as described in Adding Systems Director Agent files
Add the UXSP files to the source tree as described in Adding UpdateXpress System Packs.

This procedure provides an example of how to create a RAID1 configuration image that includes:

A policy file
Local installation of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition x86
An installation of Systems Director Agent and UpdateXpress System Pack updates.

At a command prompt, change the directory to \sgshare\sgdeploy\SGTKWinPE.
Modify the ScenarioINIs\Local\Win2008_x86_EE.ini file as follows:
1. To configure RAID1 by using a policy file, set TK_PRAID_PolicyFile=RAID1.ini.
2. To install Systems Director Agent set TK_NOS_PerformDirectorAgentInstallation=Yes.
3. To install the UpdateXpress System Pack updates, set TK_NOS_PerformPostOSInstallUXSPUpdates=Yes.
Create the ISO image for deployment by running the command SGTKWinPE.cmd, using the file you modified:
```
SGTKWinPE.cmd ScenarioINIs\Local\Win2008_x86_EE.ini
```
The ISO file for deployment is created in: ..\WinPE_ScenarioOutput\Local_Win2008_x86_EE\WinPE_x86.iso, and your media creation software is started for creating bootable media from the image.
Boot the target system from the bootable media, and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the deployment.
