How To Create A Localized Windows 2003 Scripted Install Job

Article: 100

Applies to: Release 3.00 or greater

To create a localized Windows scripted install job:

1. On the Deployment Server, create a new directory in the .\lib\osdist directory for the distribution files. For example, .\lib\osdist\w52s-xx, where xx is a language code like "DE".
2. Copy the entire distribution into the new directory.
3. Create a new directory in the .\lib\osconfig directory with the same name as the directory created in step 1.
4. Copy an appropriate, existing unattend text file into the new directory. Following the example, copy .\lib\osconfig\w52s\default.txt to .\lib\osconfig\w52s-de\default.txt.
5. Edit the new unattend text file. Change the necessary fields to align with your locale and language, such as keyboard layout, timezone and language.
6. Copy the default ProLiant driver unattend.txt file. Following the example, copy .\lib\osoem\proliant.zzz\w52\$oem$\unattend.txt to .\lib\osoem\proliant.zzz\w52\$oem$\unattend-de.txt.
7. Edit the new driver unattend.txt file. Change the following to the appropriate localized string:

"IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE-Controller"=RETAIL

The correct string can be obtained from the SCSI section in \i386\txtsetup.sif file on the localized Windows CD.
8. In the Deployment Server Console, copy and rename one of the Windows scripted install jobs. For example, Deploy ProLiant ML/DL/BL + Windows 2003 Standard (German) + PSP {WinPE}.
9. Edit the tasks in the new job.
a. In the Run Script - Copy Unattend.txt task, change the three instances of the Windows shortcut name to the directory created in step 3 and add set driverunattendfile= variable with the value of the file created in step 6. Following the example,

rem Copy Unattend.txt

rem replacetokens .\lib\osconfig\w52s-de\default.txt .\lib\osconfig\w52s-de\%ID%.txt
set unattendfile=w52s-de\%ID%.txt
set driverunattendfile=unattend-de.txt

call f:\lib\bin32\winpe\osconfig1.cmd
b. In the Run Script - Copy Distribution Files task, change the dist= variable to point to the directory created in step 1.
