4 Deploying Windows Server to ProLiant servers

Deploying Windows Server follows the standard SCCM OSD methodology—create a task sequence,
configure the task sequence, and deploy the task sequence to a collection. To simplify the process
of deploying to server hardware, HP provides a wizard to help you create a task sequence for
deploying Windows Server to ProLiant servers.

To deploy Windows Server to a ProLiant server:
1.

Ensure that the following conditions are met:

WDS and SCCM are properly configured for use with OSD and PXE functionality.

A purpose-specific collection exists.

One or more Operating System Images have been added and copied to the appropriate
distribution points, and are available via a package share.

The Hardware Inventory Client Agent is scheduled and configured to collect IDMIF and
NOIDMIF files.

The logged in user has administrator level privileges, including but not limited to, creating
log files in the AdminConsole subtree and reading the registry.

The logged in user has SCCM privileges to the software packages, boot image, operating
system image, and driver packages.

If you are using SNMP for server management, the SNMP read community string is set
in your domain policy.

That only one network adapter is enabled for PXE boot on the target servers.

2.

Create a new task sequence.

To open the wizard, on the Software Library pane, select Operating Systems

→Task Sequences

and then click Create HP ProLiant Deployment Task Sequence in the ribbon bar.
