Deployment Using Removable Boot Media With A Network Connection (Media-Based) For Systems Running Windows

For media-based deployment with a network connection:
  1. Create a deployment media containing a bootable image with the appropriate media and network drivers, along with any utilities needed to connect to a network share. The deployment media initiates the deployment process by mapping to the network share where the deployment directory structure resides.
  2. Insert the bootable media into the appropriate drive of the system to be deployed.
  3. Boot or reboot the system. The configuration process begins and the following tasks are completed:
    • Windows PE or Linux, as the case may be, is installed from the media.
    • Network shares are mapped.
    • The DTK scripts execute the necessary DTK utilities from the network share or the media itself.
    • Configuration information is read from the network share.
    • The operating system is installed from a network share. This installation may happen after your system reboots.
