WHITE PAPER (cont.) 5... SE Swedish DK Danish FI Finnish NO Norwegian PT Portuguese Creating and Formatting the Operating System OS Partition This section describes the procedure for creating a CSM service that will create and format an operating system partition on Compaq Deskpro EN or EP Series client computers using the Operating System Installation Readiness Utility for EN/EP/SB Systems. 1. Obtain the latest version of the Operating System Installation Readiness Utility for EN/EP Series Products from the Compaq Software Support pages, located on the Web at http://www.compaq.com/support. 2. Create a directory under the \\SERVER_NAME\PROGRAMS share on the LCM server named OSIRU98. 3. Copy all the files from the Operating System Installation Readiness Utility SoftPAQ to the OSIRU98 subdirectory that you just created. 4. Start the LCM Configuration Services Manager console and create a new service that only has the "Setup Applications and Run Programs" option selected. The program to run should be \\SERVER_NAME\PROGRAMS\OSIRU98\osiru98.exe and the command line options should be: -p 1000 FAT 5. Refer to the documentation that is delivered with the Operating System Installation Readiness Utility to understand what these options mean and which are appropriate for your installation. NOTE: The OSIRU98 utility supports the creation of FAT32 partitions; however, this option cannot be used with the current version of LCM. Installing to FAT32 partitions is currently not supported by the CSM application. Please contact your LCM supplier to find out when FAT32 support will be added to the CSM application. 6. Complete the definition of the service through the CSM console. This service can now be utilized to partition and format the hard drive. WINDOWS NT WORKSTATION 4.0 CLIENT INSTALL This white paper details CSM-unique changes from the general network installation process described in the Compaq Guide to PC Deployment white paper entitled "Network Installation of Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 on Compaq Deskpro EP and Deskpro EN Series of Personal Computers Using Microsoft Tools" (network installation white paper). The following sections will describe the necessary changes to the LCM server and a CSM Windows NT installation service to accomplish a Compaq-style network installation. Operating System File Layout The Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 setup files should be placed on the LCM server within the \\SERVER_NAME\OS\ share in the Windows NT directory. The Compaq drivers and software should be integrated into this same installation share. For illustration, the following section assumes that Compaq-supplied drivers will be copied to the \\SERVER_NAME\OS\WinNT\I386 directory and that Compaq software will be copied to individual subdirectories underneath the \\SERVER_NAME\OS\WinNT\I386\$OEM$\c directory.
