Windows installation deployments

The topics in this section describe the steps for deploying Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition x86 locally and Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition x64 over a network.

After creating a RAID configuration task, you can create a task to install one of the supported Windows operating systems. For more information about creating Windows installation packages, see About customizing Windows installation scenarios.
Note: By default, Windows generates the Windows Computer Name during the deployment process. You can specify the Computer Name by replacing the * character in the answer file that corresponds to your deployment scenario with a name that complies with the restrictions:
  • Has a maximum length of 15 characters
  • Has at least one letter
  • Has any of the following characters: ~ ! @ # $ ^ & * ( ) = + [ ] { } \ | ; : ‘ “ , < > / ?
