How to build a new netboot product WIN7

[PeterZ]

hi everyone,

This are my first steps in OPSI world, and I need help.
I have two questions for you ...

1) I am trying to make a new netboot product Windows7.
Is there any Step-by-Step guide to do this? I mean including OPSI and AIK part.

2) I saw, that second way is to copy image of AIK tool in WINPE directory of preset netboot product allready present in OPSI.
So:
1. I need to make an answer file
2. install desired OS on target compuetr and then make image of it with imagex.exe on network share os USB disk
3. copy files in OPSI netboot product.
Is this procedure ok?

Thanks for your help!
Best regards,

Peter

but I suspect you haven't run opsi-product-updater yet, which does most of the hard work for you:

after you ran opsi-product-updater you will have several localboot and netboot products (including for Win7) "ready" to go

1. use the answer file in /opt/pcbin/install/<your-new-netboot-product>/custom I generally copy the unattend.xml file from the opsi server to my desktop wich has the WAIK installed and use the windows system image manager to edit it
2. I'm not sure if you can use capture images this way. You'll have to try it out for yourself.
3. Yes copy the installfiles from the official Win7 DVD ór the installfiles from your capture image to /opt/pcbin/install/<your-new-netboot-product>/installfiles

Hi Ritsovih,

thanks for your help.
I manage the installation.
Now almost all is fine.
There are still two issues:
- OPSI asks me to confirm the start of installation (in grey window on blue screen with red characters)
- client-agent don't automatically install ...
but I am working on ...
Thanks.Regards,
Peter

Thanks for help.
I have installed successfully Win7x64 on virtual client.
Now the issue is with Win8x64.
I made same steps as with win7x64, but no success so far ...

As mentioned in

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4907

I would recommend using the package from the experimental repository:

Code: Alles auswählen

cd /var/lib/opsi/repository
wget http://download.uib.de/opsi4.0/experimental/win8-x64_4.0.3-7.opsi
opsi-setup --set-rights .
opsi-package-manager -i win8-x64_4.0.3-7.opsi

Usuallly for the winpe dir you can use the win7-x64 pe

Thanks for tip.
I tryed with winpe of Win7x64, but it didn't work.
Setup stops in an "cmd" window, before starting Windows setup screen.
I am not sure, if is issue in winpe or in some scripts.
I will try with experimental repository.
Thanks again!

Peter
