Preparing the Directory Structure

for Deployment in Microsoft
Windows PE
This section describes some of the procedures necessary to begin the
deployment process, including:
• Downloading and unzipping the Deployment Toolkit (DTK) components,
including a comprehensive matrix of the DTK components
• Setting up a directory structure to facilitate a successful deployment,
including a list of the supporting components that are not included with
the DTK, but are needed to use the DTK
• Setting up an optimally configured source system
• Configuring supported RAID controllers

Upgrading Your DTK Version

When upgrading from a previous release (2.x) of the DTK, ensure that you
create the new DTK version 3.x environment separately from your previous
version of DTK. This step is necessary because the environments and
requirements for DTK version 3.x are completely different.

Obtaining DTK

The DTK components are provided in a self-extracting zip file on the Dell™
Support website at support.dell.com. The self-extracting file can be opened
on any system running a Microsoft
the DTK3.X-WINPE-XX.exe files are extracted to the root directory of your
local hard drive, C:\. This location can be changed by giving a different path
when extracting the files, but it is strongly recommended that you keep the
DTK default directory structure if you plan to use the sample deployment
scripts provided with the DTK.
