This chapter describes the following advanced topics:
• Customizing the SSTK boot image
• Enabling a boot device on a SAN
• Increasing security in SSTK
• Checking the CLM mode
• Enabling the maximum payload size
Customizing the SSTK boot image
This section shows the steps executed by the mkbootimg.cmd script. If needed, you can follow
these steps to create the WinPE image by typing each command at the AIK command prompt
(All programs→Microsoft Windows AIK →Windows PE Tools Command Prompt).
Alternatively, you can edit mkbootimg script.
To customize the base WinPE image provided by AIK, add the WinPE-WMI-Package, the Health
Driver, OEM drivers, and SSTK startup scripts.
The mkbootimg.cmd scripts steps are as follows:
1. Create an image build environment for the IA64 architecture.
copype ia64 winpe
2. Apply a base image by using ImageX to a local directory.
cd winpe
imagex /apply winpe.wim 1 mount
3. Add the WinPE-WMI-Package (Windows Management Instrumentation support).
peimg /install=WinPE-WMI-Package mount
4. Install the Health Driver.
peimg /inf=..\health_driver\hphlth.inf mount
5. Copy the SSTK bootstrap script and sstkmount folder to the image.
copy ..\scripts\SSTKStart.cmd mount\windows\system32
copy ..\utilities\sstkmount\*.* mount\windows\system32\sstkmount
6. Edit startnet.cmd under mount\windows\system32 to call SSTKStart.cmd.
7. WinPE 2.1 provides device drivers to all SSTK supported platforms. However, if you require
a specific OEM driver during Windows Setup, add it from the Integrity Support Pack (ISP)
DVD as follows:
peimg /inf=path mount
Where:
path is the location of the driver INF file. You can modify the mkbootimg.cmd script as
needed.
8. Prepare the image.
peimg /prep mount
This command removes any packages and language packs that are not designated to the
final image.
9. Capture the new bootable image by using ImageX.
imagex /boot /compress max /capture mount sstkwinpe.wim “SSTK Winpe Image”
