How to secure Opsi fileshares

[ttblum]

Hello,

Due to security concerns, we are not permitted to have any Windows or Samba fileshares on our network.

I would like to be able to use Opsi for automated installing Windows via PXE boot, and then join my Windows domain when complete.

Is there a way to set up Opsi to load Windows via SFTP or some other access method than fileshare, or would Opsi work if separated off in a DMZ, etc.?

Hello

yep, with opsi 4.2 it should be possible using webdav instead of samba.

As always mentioned:

productive opsi installations we recommend maintainance + support contracts which are the base of opsi development.

Ok, I'm assuming I would set

winpenetworkmode

to false to prevent the WinPE install from trying to access the network share?

Yes
Please keep in mind to increase your winpe partition size as your installfiles and drivers are most probably larger than 4GB.
