But it’s just like desktop deployment, right?
Well, it’s not quite that simple…

Servers have some unique challenges:Needed hardware configuration
BIOS settings, remote management, vendor-specific configuration utilities
Advanced network configuration
Static IP addresses, multiple networkadapters, NIC teaming, TCP/IP off loading,speed/duplex configuration, NLB
More complex disk configuration
Multiple disks, multiple partitions, RAIDcontrollers, OEM configuration partitions,SAN configuration
Servers have some unique challenges:OS configuration is more involved
Role installation and configuration
Settings could greatly affect stability
Security is crucial
Migration processes are different
Upgrades are more common (in somescenarios)
Side-by-side migrations are common
Refresh is rare

SizeGet used to 1.5GB+ images, expanded to 5GB+
Consider the importance of DVD drives or high-speednetworks
Review hardware requirements
Consider “Server Core”
SetupExclusively image-based, no more text-mode
32- or 64-bit executable
Image on the DVD is Sysprep’d
No more BOOT.INI, uses BCD instead
XML filesUnattend.txt is now Unattend.xml
Sysprep.inf is now Unattend.xml
WINBOM.INI is now Unattend.xml
CMDLINES.TXT is now Unattend.xml (kind of)
Notepad is no longer the preferred editing tool
HAL independenceOne image can support all hardware
No support for non-ACPI hardware

WinPECore part of the deployment process
Available to everyone!
DOS is dead
ImagingFile-based Windows Imaging Format (WIM)images are key
Tools are available to create, modify, mount, deploy,service, etc.
There is no such thing as “i386 source”
Multi-language support (MUI)Windows Server “Longhorn” is language-neutral at i tscore
Multiple language packs available
Languages can be added and removed
LicensingKey Management Service (KMS)
Multiple activation keys (MAK)

SecurityUser access control
BitLocker (including multiple volume support)
Network Access Protection
Servicing and componentizationThe OS is made up of components
Each component exposes its configuration
Patches, service packs, and languages are componentstoo and can be applied offline!
Drivers can be injected just like components
Roles leverage components
