Part 1 - The Base Install
Featured: Windows 2003 Small Business Server

I will be using in this tutorial my own copy of Windows 2003 Small Business Server Edition, which is the most complex scenario that I could think of. Doing the same with Windows XP is much simpler. I chose SBS and, subsequently, WHS because they fit best the purpose of this 4-part guide. First, it involves many components that cannot be slipstreamed through unattended install. Second, it is one of the most undocumented SKUs of NT 5.2 up-to-date. Third, I want to demonstrate how to integrate a service pack, R2, Media Center 2005 (codenamed Freestyle), and Home Server (codenamed Quattro) on your installation media with minimal or no installation time penalties.

1.1. A few things you should know before starting

For Part 1, I have used the following:

- Windows 2003 Small Business Server Edition, build 3790.0, 3 CDs
- Windows 2003 R2 for SBS
- Windows 2003 Service Pack 2, standalone update pack (build 3790.3959)
- VMware Workstation 6
- nLite 1.3.0.4
- Business Desktop Deployment 2007 v3.0.141.0
- Total Commander 7

Also, I use these terms:

- technician's computer, the computer you are
using to modify the OS.
- distribution share, the folder (shared over intranet or not) that contains the OS files and folders. In this example, I:\temp\SBS
- lab, the computer that is used to test the OS, either physical or virtual.
- host, a physical machine that hosts one or more virtual machines. In my case, the technician's computer.
- guest, a virtual machine that is hosted by the host computer. In my case, the same as the lab computer.

It is a common OEM practice to use more than one computer for doing this. Because I know most of you do not have a domain server / home server or at least 2-3 computers available, this tutorial was done on only one computer.
Please remember that Windows Deployment Services through PXE boot, and not removable media, is the quickest solution in most of real scenarios.
1.2. The Distribution Share

Make sure you have enough space on the partition you are using. For this scenario, you will need 3 Gb of free space. I am doing the entire tutorial in a folder named I:\temp, which is physically a dynamic spanned partition with striping. RAID is by far the best choice. If your hard drive is slow, the operations described here will take a long time. Remember, snacks are good for you only with moderation.

First, you will have to add the files and folders from all the media in your distribution share. Mine is named I:\temp\SBS.


Picture 1 - Windows 2003 SBS CD1


Picture 2 - required from Windows 2003 SBS CD2


Picture 3 - required from Windows 2003 SBS CD3

Afterwards, also add R2. It is a common mistake to presume that R2 is SKU-independent. Each Server 2003 edition has its own R2. For example, in Picture 3 you can see the R2 for Enterprise Edition. You cannot use it with SBS.


Picture 4 - Windows 2003 R2

Note that it contains a file called WIN52IA.R2, "ia" meaning Enterprise Edition. You can see the SKU in SLIPSTREAM.INF. The correct R2 for SBS should contain "il", like in Picture 5.

Picture 5 - SLIPSTREAM.INF, for SBS

This is the resulting distribution share.

Picture 6 - My Distribution Share
1.3. nLite the Distribution Share (1)

Even if there are other methods of slipstreaming a service pack, doing
it with nLite certainly looks better. In case your edition is not
already slipsteamed, use this:

Picture 7 - Service Pack 2

So, here goes:

Picture 8 - nLite Welcome Screen

Select your distribution share in nLite:

Picture 9 - Windows Installation Location

You will need nLite twice, first with these 2 options.

Picture 11 - Task selection

Here you select the location of the Service Pack

Which will produce a warning, because there are some leftovers on the SBS I used.


Picture 13 - Warning


Picture 14 - Location of Service Pack


Picture 15 - Extracting files


Picture 16 - Update share


Picture 17 - Finished

The slipstream process has updated the distribution share. Service Pack 2 covers all the hotfixes for Server 2003. Besides it, you may need Terminal Services Client 6.0 and Internet Explorer 7.

You must slipstream SP2 in a non-trial edition of Server 2003 (either gold or SP1). The process will not work if the trial 360-day timebomb is present. Also, you have to do the slipstreaming before adding any other hotfixes / add-ons.

You can see here the build version for Service Pack 2 - v3959, information updated in nLite after slipstream. Windows Server 2003 is NT 5.2 build 3790.


Picture 18 - Status in nLite

You can now continue with other stuff.


Picture 19 - Add-ons


Picture 20 - Choose the add-on

In this tutorial, I've added just IE7. Remember, adding stuff this way will increase setup time. In Part 2 of this tutorial, I will describe a more efficient way to add stuff to your OEM image, with little or no install-time penalty, even for dozens of programs. The "vanilla" unattended method used by nLite was introduced several years ago when there were no other alternatives available.

1.5. nLite the Distribution Share (2)

This time I will use nLite to remove unneeded stuff in my distribution share.


Picture 32 - Distribution Share


Picture 33 - Task Selection

Business Desktop Deployment 2007 is the most efficient way to manage your drivers today. It has a workbench that quickly adds/removes drivers from it's own distribution share. Sorting, efficient renaming and detailed info makes it a must-have for windows reinstallation geeks out
there. Note that you will also need a copy of Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK), preferably the one for Vista RTM.


Picture 34 - Drivers in my Deployment Workbench

In this case, I only have loaded Mass Storage PnP drivers. If you intend to try out Part 2 of this tutorial, don't add non-PnP drivers at this stage. BDD Workbench stores these drivers in \Distribution\Out-of-Box Drivers.


Picture 35 - Driver Pane

You will need to add to nLite hdc, SCSIAdapter and System driver collections from BDD Workbench. Due to the fact that I only have this folders loaded in this tutorial, I add the entire Out-of-Box Drivers folder.


Picture 36 - Multiple Driver Folder

You should not add 64-bit Mass Storage drivers in 32-bit editions of windows. Most likely you'd get UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME BSoD.


Picture 37 - Drivers to integrate

So, this is my final list of Mass Storage drivers I will add:


Picture 38 - Final list of drivers

To be able to perform Part 2 of this tutorial, you will need to keep Windows Update, Sysprep and OOBE compatibility.


Picture 39 - Compatiblity Removal

Here you remove what you don't want in your base install image.


Picture 40 - Components

This post has been edited by dexter.inside: 28 May 2007 - 10:41 AM

[dexter.inside]

As you are not yet performing OEM preinstallation in this part of the tutorial, you should keep it Disabled. Loading extra non-PnP drivers when booting may be needed in certain scenarios.

In order to perform Part 2, you will need either 32-bit ACPI hardware abstraction layer (HAL) for 32-bit windows, or 64-bit ACPI for 64-bit windows (like Windows XP SP2 x64). I will be using a method that relies on this HAL in Part 2, to make your windows device-independent, like it happens when you install Vista.

My SBS R2 license key covers 50 CALs (client access licenses). You should choose what's most suitable for your standalone server/domain controller/test scenario.


Picture 41 - Unattended General

Add here whatever cleanup / registry operations you want to perform with elevated privileges.

I am configuring IIS and SCW after installation. To save install time, I've disabled them.


Picture 47 - Components

I am merging SP2.CAB and DRIVER.CAB without high compression. The resulting DRIVER.CAB is ~120 Mb. Also, the Classic setup theme is a bit faster (I don't like the billboards from XP setup).


Picture 48 - General Options

You will need to disable SFC in this tutorial. If you do not, it may corrupt many of the advanced modifications I'm doing later on.


Picture 49 - Patches

Personalize here the desktop experience you need.


Picture 50 - General Tweaks

At this point, changes you do here will have no effect, because OEM Preinstall is turned off. What you change here will be enforced by what you will do in Part 3, during the virtual-to-physical (V2P) migration.

Wow Dexter GREAT guide. I've seen your name on a few builds online. I wont say where but awesome builds. We need more brain power in this forum. A lot of the masters dont seem to be around here anymore. The ones that are dont seem to care to much.

This guide is so detailed, hope you finish it soon. Amazing stuff, I have a few questions.

1.8. Lab Configuration

In this tutorial I am using VMware Workstation 6.

If you get freaky because of fragmentation levels on your beautiful partitions, remember that this operation causes a lot of fragmentation. In order to maximize disk I/O in VMware you should either defragment at this point, or use contig.exe from Sysinternals to keep your VMDKs contiguous. I use Diskeeper 2007 Server Enterprise.


Picture 72 - Massive fragmentation

Here's my edition of VMware. If you are using a Debug (checked) release, you should swap the contents between the bin and bin-debug folders in your VMware installation, otherwise performance will be very poor.

This is how VMware Workstation looks like when there are no virtual machines configured.

Please continue! I had no idea that BDD2007 offered updated drivers for Windows installations, let alone a way to edit Windows installation sources. I really should have known this, what with being an OEM and all Very Cool guide.

[dexter.inside]

jimmsta, on Apr 4 2007, 03:27 AM, said:

I had no idea that BDD2007 offered updated drivers for Windows installations

Actually BDD2007 does not offer any drivers, those are my drivers from my collection, which I manage with BDD.

I will continue when I have the necessary screenshots, this is intended to be a visual-oriented guide.

[jimmsta]

I realized that when I went through all the steps. I ended up using BDD to manage some driverpacks I got from driverpacks.net, which works really well. In any case, I had no idea that BDD was a decent piece of management software for these sorts of things.

[geo411m]

I made an install similar to Dexter.inside using server 2003. i made it into a ghost image that should work on any PC. it doesn't contain driver packs so it fits on 1 bootable ghost cd (475) heres a screen shot.

[dexter.inside]

Yes, at a first glance Norton Ghost is a good solution, but Microsoft has developed the WIM format specifically for this purpose. I am almost done gathering data for continuing my tutorial, and I will present my research in the next few days.
The main advantages are single instance storage over one and/or multiple sysprep resealed images and using a real Microsoft-written setup routine (with actual partitioning options, not with unattended diskpart).

[dexter.inside]

Part 2: Road to the End-User

In Part 2 of this tutorial, I will continue with Windows Home Server (codenamed Quattro), and how can you use nLite to improve your Home Server experience. Later on, I will explain the sysprep -reseal technique and deploy your nLited windows distributions after further tweaking them in a controlled environment. You can learn here the advantages of OEM software preinstallation (a rather unfamiliar procedure AFAIK) over unattended software installation, to which most of you are already acquainted with (very well covered by nLite I might add).

2.1. A few things you should know before starting

For Part 2, I have used the following software:

- Windows 2003 Small Business Server (from Part 1)
- Windows Home Server CTP, build 06.00.1371
- VMware Workstation 6
- nLite 1.3.0.4
- Total Commander 7

2.2. Preparing the distribution share

Copy the contents of the Windows Home Server Installation DVD to your distribution share. Mine is named I:\temp\WHS.


Picture 1 - The distribution share

This is the layout of WHS folders:

- BOOT, the boot code for Windows PE 2.0 that is used to deploy WSH. In it you can find the BCD registry hive, that controls booting the DVD. You can edit it by using Microsoft's BCDEDIT.EXE or by loading it in your registry from REGEDIT.


Picture 2 - Loading BCD with REGEDIT

- DOCS, the EULA and documentation.
- FILES, installer logic that installs Codename Quattro over the base install.
- REDISTR, redistributable applications required by Quattro runtime code.
- SOURCES, containing the BOOT.WIM file, in which the base WinPE 2.0 is stored (build 6.0.6000 from the WAIK).
- SVR_2003, the first CD from Windows 2003 Small Business Server with SP2, v3790.2959. This is your nLite target. WSH installer logic generates a headless install for it the first time it runs.
- WHS, specific hotfixes and MSI packages to be added on top of SBS CD1 after install.
- WHSSUPPORTTOOLS, runtime tools for the WHS app.
- WINDOWS, the WinPE Shell that installs WHS.

This is how the BCD looks like.


Picture 3 - The BCD hive temporary loaded in HKU

Don't forget to unload the hive after you're done.

AUTORUN.INF contains:

 
[autorun]  
open=files\install\qs.exe -autorun 

and, as you can see, the DVD is tagged just like SBS, with WIN52IL.SP2.

[dexter.inside]

2.3. nLite your WHS Core

Just like in Part 1, use nLite on the \SVR_2003 folder.

Up to this moment, I am unsure on what components to keep in order not to break the WSH installer or functionality. For starters, remember to keep Sysprep and Activation Compatibility, IE Compatibility, and IIS 6.

Remember that in order to complete this tutorial, you will have to disable OEM and use the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC HAL in your nLite unattended settings.

This is what I used:

 
[Main]
Env = 1.3 - 2.0.50727.42.Microsoft Windows NT 5.2.3790 Service Pack 2, v.2845
