SmartSetup Scripting Toolkit Deployment Guide for HP Integrity Servers with Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based Systems

Editing the SSTKConfig.cmd file
The SSTKConfig.cmd file is located in the scripts folder, and is responsible for setting the
SSTK environment variables. You must set the following variables:
default_action Set to deploy. Directs the SSTK to perform a deploy action.
os_deploy Set to 2008-server. Specifies to deploy Windows Server 2008. This is
the name of the folder in which the Windows installation files in the
repository are stored.
unattend_file By default, set to unattend.xml. Specifies the name of the file for
unattended installations. For Japanese Windows Server 2008 deployments,
set this to unattend-JP.xml.
Replicating a server configuration
If you already have a server that you can use as a model to configure other servers, follow these
steps:
1. Save the model server configuration as follows:
a. Configure the readhwconf action in the SSTKConfig.cmd file.
b. Boot the model server with the boot image.
2. Apply this configuration to as many servers as required as follows:
a. Configure the applyhwconf action in the SSTKConfig.cmd file.
b. Boot the target server with the boot image.
c. Configure the deploy action in the SSTKConfig.cmd file.
d. Invoke the SSTKStart.cmd script to deploy as follows:
X:\Windows\System32>SSTKStart.cmd
Alternatively, you can reboot the target Server.
