To use the Deployment Workbench for tasks other than
reviewing the documentation, you must log on to the computer using an account
that is a member of the local Administrators group. To start Deployment
Workbench, which is shown in Figure 2, click Start,
point to All Programs, point to BDD 2007,
and then click Deployment Workbench. The console tree
shows the following items:
·
Information Center. This
item provides access to the documentation, breaking news about BDD 2007,
and the components required for using the Deployment Workbench.
·
Distribution
Share. Under this item are the operating systems, applications, operating
system packages, and out-of-box drivers that the distribution share contains.
They are source files that BDD 2007 uses to install and configure
operating systems.
·
Builds.
Under this item are operating-system builds, which describe how to install and
configure an operating system.
·
Deploy. The Deploy item
contains two items below it: Deployment Points and Database. Deployment points provide access to builds and
describe how to install them. You can use the database to define settings for
individual computers, geographies, and so on.

The components you installed in the section “Installing
Required Components” are the minimum requirements to start Deployment
Workbench. BDD 2007 requires other components to create and deploy images. The
most notable component is the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK). The
following steps describe how you download and install the Windows AIK by using
the Components node of Deployment
Workbench:
1.
In Deployment Workbench, click Components. Components is under Information
Center.
2.
In the Available
for Download section of the Details pane, click Windows Automated Installation Kit (x86), and then click Download. After downloading the Windows
AIK, Deployment Workbench copies the files Waikx86.msi and Winpe.cab to
C:\Program Files\BDD 2007\WAIK.
3.
In the Downloaded
section of the Details pane, click Windows
Automated Installation Kit (x86), and then click Install to automatically install the Windows AIK. Follow the
instructions in the Windows AIK installer to complete the installation.
You can download and install other components in the Components node of Deployment
Workbench. Examples include the User State Migration Tool (USMT) and the
Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT).
Using Deployment Workbench, you can stock the distribution
share with the following source files, all of which the solution combines
during installation to install and configure operating systems on destination
computers:
·
Operating systems
·
Applications
·
Operating system packages, including updates and
language packs
·
Out-of-box device drivers
When you add operating systems, applications, operating
system packages, and out-of-box device drivers to the distribution share, you
are simply storing the source files in the distribution share folder specified
during BDD 2007 installation (D:\Distribution).
You associate them with builds later in the configuration process.
This white paper describes how to install a basic Windows
Vista build, so Windows Vista is the only source that you must add to the
distribution share. To install a basic Windows Vista build, complete the
following steps:
1.
In the Deployment Workbench console tree,
right-click Operating Systems (which is under Distribution Share), and then click New
to start the New OS Wizard.
2.
On the Choose the type of
operating system to add page, select Full set of source
files, and then click Next.
3.
On the Select the location of
the operating system files page, type the path containing the Windows
Vista source files to be added to the distribution share, and then click Next.
4.
On the Specify the destination
page, click Copy to use the default folder name for
Windows Vista and begin copying the files in to the distribution share.
This copy process can take several minutes to finish.
This copy process can take several minutes to finish.
After adding Windows Vista to the distribution share, the
operating system appears in the details pane of Operating
Systems. Also, the operating system appears in the distribution share in
Operating Systems\subfolder, where subfolder is the destination specified when adding the
operating system.
With Windows Vista added to the distribution share, you’re
ready to create a build that describes how to install and configure it. For
this white paper, you’ll create a basic, default build. To do so, complete the
following steps:
1. In
the Deployment Workbench console tree, right-click Builds,
and then click New to start the New Build Wizard.
2. On
the Specify general information about this build page,
provide the following information, and then click Next:
·
Build ID. Type LAB01.
·
Build name. Type Windows Vista.
·
Build comments. Type Installs a default Windows Vista configuration.
3. On
the Select an operating system image to use with this build
page (Figure 3), choose a Windows Vista image to use, such as Windows Vista BUSINESS, and then click Next.
You added Windows Vista to the distribution share in the previous section.

type P@ssword in the spaces provided, and then click Create.
After adding a build to the distribution share, it appears
in the Builds details pane. Also, it appears in the
distribution share in Control\subfolder, where subfolder is the build ID.
In BDD 2007, deployment points describe how to access
builds and how to install them. BDD 2007 supports different types of
deployment points:
·
Lab or single-server deployment
(Lab). Deploy builds from the distribution share created on the build
server.
·
Separate deployment share
(Network). Create another distribution share on the build server or
another network-accessible computer. The new distribution share will contain a
subset of the files contained in the local distribution share.
·
Removable media (Media).
Create a DVD ISO image to deploy a build. This type of deployment point is
useful for deploying builds to mobile users and branch offices.
·
SMS 2003 OSD (OSD).
Create a directory containing all the files required to customize a Microsoft
Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Operating System Deployment (OSD)
Feature Pack program. For more information about using BDD 2007 with the
SMS 2003 OSD Feature Pack, see the Zero Touch
Installation Guide in BDD 2007.
You must always create a lab deployment point in Deployment
Workbench. This white paper uses a lab deployment point to install a basic,
default Windows Vista build. To create the lab deployment point, complete the
following steps:
1.
In the Deployment Workbench console tree,
right-click Deployment Points (which is under Deploy), and then click New to start
the New Deployment Point Wizard.
2.
On the Choose which you would
like to configure or create page, select Lab or
single-server deployment, and then click Next.
3.
On the Specify a descriptive
name page, click Next to accept the default name
LAB.

Wizard
9.
On the Specify user data
defaults page, select Do not save data and settings,
and then click Create.
After creating lab deployment point in Deployment Workbench,
update it to create it on the file system. Updating a deployment point creates
the folder structure, Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment
(Windows PE) boot images, and so on. To update a deployment point,
right-click the deployment point you want to update in the Deployment
Points details pane, and then click Update.
To install the basic Windows Vista build, start a lab
computer using the Windows PE bootable images generated by updating the
deployment point in the previous section. You update the deployment point to
generate the Windows PE bootable images.
Start the Windows PE bootable images in either of two
ways. First, burn LiteTouchPE_x86.iso to a DVD. This image file resides in the
\Boot folder of the distribution share. If you’re evaluating BDD 2007
using VMs, simply mount the ISO image to the destination machine after copying
the image file to an accessible location. After burning the image to a DVD or
mounting the image, restart the destination computer.
Second, add the LiteTouchPE_x86.wim image file to the Boot
Images item of a Microsoft Windows Deployment Services server. The .wim image
files reside in the \Boot folder of the distribution share. For more
information about installing and configuring Windows Deployment Services, see
the Windows Deployment Services Update Step-by-Step Guide
for Windows Server 2003 at http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/9e197135-6711-4c20-bfad-fc80fc2151301033.mspx?mfr=true.
Then, restart the computer using the boot image you added to Windows Deployment
Services.
After starting the lab computer using the Windows PE
image, complete the following steps to install the basic Windows Vista build:
1.
In the Welcome to Windows
Deployment dialog box, shown in Figure 5, click Run
the Deployment Wizard to install a new operating system, and then click Next.
