Deploying Operating Systems

After the system hardware is versioned and configured, an operating system can be installed using unattended setup files, samples of which are provided as part of DTK. While these sample configuration files are operating system specific, they have been enhanced for Dell systems. See your operating system documentation for more information about how to modify these unattended installation files.

For Windows PE, the sample configuration files contain examples to deploy the following operating systems:
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1
  • Windows Server 2008 SP2 (32-bit and 64-bit)
  • NOTE: For the latest supported operating systems, see the Windows PE documentation.
For Linux, the sample configuration files contain examples to deploy the following operating systems:
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 (64–bit) in BIOS and UEFI mode
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 (64-bit) in BIOS mode
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 (64–bit and 32–bit) in BIOS mode
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 in BIOS and UEFI mode
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP4 (64-bit) in BIOS mode
