This appendix assumes that the system administrator is using Microsoft’s Windows Deployment Services (WDS) to deploy the installation of Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) over a network.

Note - This appendix is not intended as a tutorial for WDS or Microsoft’s Windows System Imaging Manager (WSIM). For detailed information about WDS or WSIM, refer to Microsoft’s WDS and WSIM documentation.

Topics in this section include:

- Getting Started

  - Location of Device Drivers on Tools and Drivers DVD

  - Which Device Drivers to Incorporate Into WIM Image(s)

  - Prerequisites and Task Overview

- Procedures for Incorporating Drivers Into WIM Image(s)

  - Create an `ImageUnattend.xml` Setup Script - Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2)

  - Add Device Driver(s) to Boot WIM - Windows Server 2008 SP2 Only

  - Map `ImageUnattend.xml` Setup Script to Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) Install Image

#### Which Device Drivers to Incorporate Into WIM Image(s)

Device Drivers to Add to WIM Image(s) identifies the device drivers to incorporate in the Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) WIM image(s). Note, the `boot` WIM image identified in the table is only required for Windows Server 2008 SP2 installations, and the i`nstall` WIM image identified in the table is required for both Windows Server 2008 SP2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 installations.

Some of the SAS PCIe HBA option cards listed in Device Drivers to Add to WIM Image(s) might not be available for purchase at the time of this publication. To determine which SAS PCIe HBA option cards are supported and available for purchase on the server module, go to the following web site and navigate to the appropriate page: http://www.oracle.com/goto/netrax6270m2.

#### Prerequisites and Task Overview

Prior to creating the device driver WIM image(s) for Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2), ensure that the following tasks are completed in the order specified.

1. Install and configure the Windows Deployment Services on a server in your network. For details, you can download Microsoft’s Windows Deployment Services Step-by-Step Guide at:

   http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=14CA18B1-B433-4F62-8586-B0A2096460EB[amp ]displaylang=en.

2. Install the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK). The WAIK contains applications to mount and modify WIM images as well as applications to create and modify XML unattended setup scripts.

   Microsoft provides separate WAIK downloads for Windows Server 2008 SP2 and Windows Server 2008 R2. The URLs for these downloads are as follows:

   - Windows Server 2008 SP2 at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en[amp ]FamilyID=94bb6e34?d890?4932?81a5?5b50c657de08

   - Windows Server 2008 R2 at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en[amp ]FamilyID=696dd665?9f76?4177?a811?39c26d3b3b34

3. Locate the Windows device drivers on the Tools and Driver DVD. For information about where the device drivers on the Tools and Drivers DVD are located, see Location of Device Drivers on Tools and Drivers DVD.

4. Establish a network-shared device driver repository. For example:

   - Create a device driver repository containing the Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) device drivers.

     Note that for Windows Server 2008 WDS installation environments, a device driver repository is provided, which you can modify. For Windows Server 2003 SP2 WDS installation environments, a device driver repository is not provided and you must manually create one. The following is an example of how you might want to set up the directory structure for a new device driver repository:

     `C:\unattend\drivers\{w2K8|W2k8R2}\catalogs\vendor\version`

     Where:

     - `unattend` is the unattend device driver store

     - `drivers` is the name for device driver directory

     - {`W2K8 or W2K8R2`} is the name for Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) device drivers directory

     - `catalogs` is the name for Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) catalog files

     - `vendor` is the name of directory for device driver vendor

     - `version` is the name of directory for device driver version

   - Ensure that the directories (folders) in the device driver repository are shared and accessible to the Windows Deployment Services (WDS) during the network installation.

     For example, the device driver repository network shares referenced in this appendix are setup as follows:

     Repository Folder | Network Shares
     --- | ---
     `C:\Unattended\Drivers\W2K8` | `\\wds-server\W2K8-Drivers`
     `C:\Unattended\Drivers\W2K8R2` | `\\wds-server\W2K8R2-Drivers`

   - Extract the Windows Server 2008 device drivers on the Tools and Drivers DVD and place them into the device driver repository.

     For details about where the Windows Server 2008 device drivers are located on the Tools and Driver DVD, see Location of Device Drivers on Tools and Drivers DVD.

     If you do not have a copy of the Tools and Drivers DVD, you can download the ISO image for the Tools and Driver DVD. For details, see Appendix D, Downloading the ISO Image for the Tools and Drivers DVD.

     The following example demonstrates the directory structure of the device driver repository after copying a SAS HBA driver (example version number: 1.19.2.64) from the Tools and Drivers DVD to the device driver repository:

     Operating System | Tools and Driver DVD | Device Driver Repository
     --- | --- | ---
     Windows Server 2008 SP2 | `DVDDevice:\windows\W2K8\drivers\64bit\hba\lsi\mpt2` | `C:\unattend\drivers\W2K8\lsi\1.19.2.64`
     Windows Server 2008 R2 | `DVDDevice:\windows\W2K8R2\drivers\64bit\hba\lsi\mpt2` | `C:\unattend\drivers\W2K8R2\lsi\1.19.2.64`

5. Create an `imageunattend.xml` Setup Script for Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2. For details, see Create an `ImageUnattend.xml` Setup Script - Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) .

6. For Windows Server 2008 SP2 (only) installations, add the required boot device drivers described in Device Drivers to Add to WIM Image(s) to `boot.wim`. For details about adding the device drivers to the `boot.wim`, see Add Device Driver(s) to Boot WIM - Windows Server 2008 SP2 Only .

7. Map the `imageunattend.xml` Setup Script to the Windows Server 2008 image. For details, see Map `ImageUnattend.xml` Setup Script to Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) Install Image.

8. For Windows Server 2008 SP2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 installations, add the required device drivers described in Device Drivers to Add to WIM Image(s) to the `install.wim` image.

### Procedures for Incorporating Drivers Into WIM Image(s)

The following procedures presented are guidelines you can use to add device drivers to the WIM image file(s). These procedures should be performed in the order described.

- Create an `ImageUnattend.xml` Setup Script - Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2)

- Add Device Driver(s) to Boot WIM - Windows Server 2008 SP2 Only

- Map `ImageUnattend.xml` Setup Script to Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) Install Image

#### Before you Begin

Prior to performing the procedures in this section, you should ensure that all the prerequisites as described in Prerequisites and Task Overview have been met.
