Installing Windows Deployment Services (WDS) From a Batch File

I needed to install WDS on 300+ servers but found that the server build did not have a local copy of OS setup or service pack files. I also wanted to set the paths back to the original values.

For Windows Server 2003 “Sysocmgr.exe” can be used for automating the add and remove function from the command line. The “equivalent” command for Windows Server 2008 is “ServerManagerCmd.exe”.

Relevant Sysocmgr.exe’s options are:

/i:path to Sysoc.inf file, where path to Sysoc.inf file is the full path to the Sysoc.inf file, for example:
/u:path to answer file, where path to answer file is the full path to the answer file that contains a list of items to add or remove.
/q – runs Sysocmgr.exe in quiet mode (without display pages)
/r – suppresses reboot (if needed)

Relevant ServerManagerCmd.exe’s options are:

ServerManagerCmd.exe -install <command-Id> [-allSubFeatures] [-resultPath <result.xml> [-restart] | -whatIf] [-logPath <log.txt>]

Installs the role, role service, or feature specified by Id. The identifiers are case-insensitive.

The following optional parameters are used with the -install parameter.

• -setting <setting name>=<setting value> – Specify required settings for the installation.

• -allSubFeatures – Specify the installation of all subordinate services and features along with the parent role, role service, or feature named in the -install command’s Id parameter. Note that some role containers do not have a command line identifier to allow installation of all role services. This is the case when role services cannot be installed in the same instance of the Server Manager command. For example, the Federation Service role service of Active Directory Federation Services and the Federation Service Proxy role service cannot be installed by using the same Server Manager command instance.

• -resultPath <result.xml> – Saves installation results to an XML file represented by result.xml. You can also use the short form of this parameter, -r. You cannot use the -resultPath parameter and the -whatIf parameter in the same instance of ServerManagerCmd.exe.

• -restart – Adding -restart to the -install command restarts the computer automatically when installation is complete, if restarting is required by the roles or features installed.

• -whatIf – You can use -whatIf to display any operations specified for the -install command. You can also use the short form of the -whatIf parameter, -w. You cannot use the -resultPath parameter and the -whatIf parameter in the same instance of ServerManagerCmd.exe.

• -logPath <log.txt> – Use -logPath to specify a name and location for the log file, other than the default, %windir%\temp\servermanager.log.

I started by adding all files required by WDS to the DFS and I created the following batch file.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * START* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

@ECHO OFF

REG EXPORT “HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSetup” %WINDIR%\InstallWDS.reg /y

REG ADD “HKLM\SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSetup” /v “SourcePath” /t REG_SZ /d “\\SERVERNAME\SHARE” /f
REG ADD “HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSetup” /v “ServicePackSourcePath” /t REG_SZ /d “\\SERVERNAME\SHARE” /f

VER | Find “Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2." > nul
If %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 GoTo Win2003
VER | Find "Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0." > nul
If %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 GoTo Win2008

GoTo CleanUp

:Win2003

ECHO [Components] > %WINDIR%\InstallWDS.inf
ECHO RemInst = on >> %WINDIR%\InstallWDS.inf
Sysocmgr.exe /i:sysoc.inf /u:%WINDIR%\InstallWDS.inf /r
GoTo CleanUp

:Win2008

ServerManagerCmd -install WDS
GoTo CleanUp

:CleanUp

REG IMPORT %WINDIR%\InstallWDS.reg

DEL %WINDIR%\InstallWDS.inf

DEL %WINDIR%\InstallWDS.reg
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * END * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The basic steps are:
1) Backup registry key to “InstallWDS.reg” – This is used to backup original OS file path and service pack path
2) Set cached paths for OS and service pack files (“\\SERVERNAME\SHARE” which is UNC path to files)
3) Execute the command for installation of component on the detected OS – Note that for Windows 2003 a file called “InstallWDS.inf” is created
4) Restore registry key backup from step 1
5) Delete “InstallWDS.inf” required by Windows 2003
6) Delete registry key backup file “InstallWDS.reg”

This batch can easily be modified to install virtually any Windows component or server role

How can I stop Tiger Woods 08 crashing on my PC?

Below are my computer’s specs. The game loads up fine but when I try to start a course, the whole computer restarts. I’ve amended the graphics to run on minimum, etc, but this hasn’t helped.

Look online with the maker of your graphics card and see if it’s needing driver updates, then check to see if direct X and Active X are updated.
also see if you have a control panel for the graphics card and you should be able to set the graphics setting from it for the specific game too.
