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
•Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
•Windows Server 2008 SP2
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
•Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9
•SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3
