GetSRV.EXE Parameter Descriptions

The following table contains descriptions of the getsrv.exe parameters:
Parameter
/s [filename]
/v [variablename]
After you have configured getsrv.bat, you need to create and modify a boot
configuration. This configuration is used to boot managed computers to the automation
environment for imaging.
1. In Boot Disk Creator, create a new boot configuration using your selected
automation boot method and environment.
2. Create a drive mapping for your image share, using the %SERVERNAME% variable
rather than an actual servername. (The name of this environment variable is
specified using the /v flag of getsrv.exe. We recommend using SERVERNAME). This
drive mapping should look similar to the following:
\\%SERVERNAME%\[share]
Replace [share] with the share name of your local image stores.
3. Managed computers must be able to resolve the name of the central Deployment
Server. If using DOS automation, NetBIOS is used to resolve names, so we
recommend adding your Deployment Server to the lmhosts file. We also
recommend adding the name and IP address of each server hosting an image store.
4. After the wizard completes, within the configuration, create a folder named Tools
and copy the following files:
getsrv.exe
getsrv.bat
Creating an Image Distribution Framework
Description
File containing the list of servers hosting local image
stores. This file is typically placed in the deployment
share. See Create a Server Lookup File
Environment variable containing the selected server. This
token is used when creating the boot configuration, and is
set to SERVERNAME in these examples.
