How to make a Windows DD package for Linux server VPS

Preparation

• WindowsThe original image can be downloaded from MSDN.

• DISM, used for DIY and optimizing wim images.

• Virtualization driver: VirtIO (KVM driver), Xen driver.

• Download gunzip for windows, alternate download point. Or you can directly install Cmder (official website), which comes with
  gzip (By the way, this can be executed under Win Linux super easy-to-use command line program).

• Install Hyper-V on your computer (Tutorial on opening Hyper-V in Win8/10) and prepare to use it to create vhd image for testing.

Start making

1. Make a usable image file

Extract the ## in the prepared Windowsoriginal image #\sources\install.wim file, you can decompress it or directly mount the virtual optical drive. Extract the file to E:\install.wim.

Create a

vhd virtual disk, example: drive letter is V, path is D:\win.vhd, size is 5120M.

First run the command prompt or

PowerShell as an administrator, and then execute the following command:

diskpart# The following command can actually be copied and pasted to be executed in one go , no need to stripe CREATE VDISK FILE="D:\win.vhd" TYPE=FIXED MAXIMUM=5120SELECT VDISK FILE="D:\win.vhd"ATTACH VDISKCLEANCREATE PARTITION PRIMARYFORMAT FS=NTFS QUICKASSIGN LETTER=V

Create a folder

D:\MOUNT on the D disk, open DISM , click: File–>Mount Image–>Click Browse first and find E:\install.wim–>Click second browse and find D:\MOUNT–>Uncheck read-only mode– >OK.

Optimize system settings in

DISM (it is recommended to turn off UAC), install language packs, add previously downloaded virtualization drivers, etc.

After completion, click File –>Save as Image–>Save in

D:\install.wim and wait for the task to be completed.

Click: File–>Release image–>Click the first browse and find

D:\install.wim–>Click the second browse and findV:–>Select only Add Boot and Format–>OK–>Click "More" in the pop-up "Boot Repair-BIOS" dialog box –>Find the disk partition with drive letter V–>OK.

Finally wait for completion!

2. Set the system registry

Open the registry editor

regedit on your computer, select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch, and click: File ->Load hive.

Select

V:\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM in the file browser, fill in an item name that is easy to find and not the same as the current item, for example A_SYSTEM, then change the following key values ​​to enable remote desktop services.

Continue to follow the previous steps to load the hive

V:\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE, the key is A_SOFTWARE, and then change the following key value to close Ctrl Alt DelLog in.

Select the hive we loaded, click: File->Uninstall hive, and uninstall

A_SYSTEM and A_SOFTWARE.

3. Make a pre-response file

Download Microsoft Windows AIK. It is recommended to install it on a disk partition with large remaining space, because the image will be automatically mounted when the catalog file is created.

It seems that it is only suitable for making

Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. If it is made for other systems, I don’t know if it can be made. You can also try to directly copy the pre-answer I provided. document.

After the installation is complete, open the "

WindowsSystem Image Manager", click: File->Select the Windows image, and then select the image we have already made in the previous steps After the optimized wim file, you will be prompted to create a catalog file, just select yes.

Wait for the loading to complete, and then make it by imitating [this pre-response file] (see the appendix for the file content). This pre-response file will set the username

Administrator and the password to lolico .moe123. There are many examples of how to use the software on Baidu. It is complicated to explain, but people with strong understanding will be able to use it after a quick look, so I won’t go into details here. If you want to make a Win7 or Server2008R264 bit system, you can also use this software to open it and then modify it based on this file.

After the creation is completed, save the pre-response file as

unattend.xml, and then place it in the V:\Windows\Panther directory (if there is no directory, create a new one yourself).

Right-click the

V disk in My Computer to pop up.

4. Test the prepared dd package.

First make a copy of the vhd you created, and use the copied copy to test. If an error occurs, There is no need to re-create it, you can continue to modify it.

OpenHyper-V, click: Operation->New->Virtual Machine.

Choose the name and location, select "First Generation" for the specified generation, and allocate memory you think is enough to start the system. Don't worry about configuring the network; select "Use existing virtual disk" to connect the virtual hard disk, and then specify For the vhd virtual disk we just created, all subsequent settings can be kept as default.

Start the virtual machine and observe whether automatic installation and other operations are performed. If successful, you can shut down the virtual machine and delete the used vhd.

4. Deploy the dd package on the server.

Use the gunzip tool to compress and package the package. D:\win.vhd, here are two options Method:

• #Use gunzip for windows

• Copy all the files in the bin directory in the gunzip program directory to %WINDIR%/SYSTEM32 , then enter the directory where vhd is located in the command prompt and execute gzip.exe -k9 win.vhd.

• #Use cmder with gunzip

• Enter the directory where vhd is located in cmder and execute gzip -k9 win.vhd.
