Deploying Operating Systems

After the system hardware is versioned and configured, an operating system can be installed using unattended setup files, samples of which are provided as part of DTK. While these sample configuration files are operating system specific, they have been enhanced for Dell systems. See your operating system documentation for more information about how to modify these unattended installation files.

For Windows PE, the sample configuration files contain examples to deploy the following operating systems:

Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter, Foundation, Essentials, and Standard editions

Windows Server 2012 (64-bit)

Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

Windows Server 2008 SP2 (32-bit and 64-bit)

NOTE: For the latest supported operating systems, see the Windows PE documentation.

For Linux, the sample configuration files contain examples to deploy the following operating systems:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 (64-bit) in BIOS and UEFI mode

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 (64-bit and 32-bit) in BIOS mode

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 (64-bit) in BIOS and UEFI mode
