Executive Summary

This technical whitepaper describes the procedure for using the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 20 07 during the unattended installation of Microsoft Windows and the deployment of an HP Driver Pack on HP business-class products.

Introduction

Managing operating system images and hardware driver configurations has become a key activity for IT professionals. In enterprise environments, it can be a complex and time-consuming process, as an IT professional needs to:

• Manually select the appropriate hardware drivers for the remote imaging

environment

• Deploy the drivers to the correct set of systems for keeping the environment

stable and reliable

Microsoft SCCM 2007 provides a solution to help IT professionals deploy Microsoft Windows with HP qualified drivers. This tool streamlines operating system deployments (OSD) and simplifies the client management process.

Microsoft SCCM 2007 provides a common console with the comprehensive tools and guidance needed to efficiently manage the deployment of Microsoft Windows, ensuring that the desired software, drivers, and operating system updates and patches are installed.

Deploying Microsoft Windows 7 Utilizing Microsoft SCCM 2007 and an HP Driver Pack

The Configuration Manager 2007 console (ConfigMgr 2007) is the primary interface in Microsoft SCCM 2007 for change and configuration management for the Microsoft platform. The following sections describe how to use Microsoft ConfigMgr 2007 to deploy Microsoft Windows and HP drivers on HP businessclass products. HP system applicable drivers are delivered in a single package called the HP Driver Pack in order to simplify the OSD process. HP Driver Packs are available on the HP website at

Importing WinPE Drivers to a Boot Image

To deploy Microsoft Windows on a system, ConfigMgr 2007 requires that Windows-based storage and network drivers are added to the WinPE boot image, a Windows Pre-installation Environment boot image. This paper uses the WinPE

3.0 drivers downloaded from the HP website at http://www.hp.com/support. After downloading the WinPE Driver Pack, perform the following steps to import the drivers into the WinPE boot image in ConfigMgr 2007:

http://www.hp.com/support.

Page 6

1. Double-click the WinPE Driver Pack to extract its contents into the folder

structure shown in the following diagram:

Figure 2 – Extracted WinPE SoftPaq folder structure

2. In the Configuration Manager Console tree pane, expand Site Database ->

Computer Management -> Operating System Deployment.

3. Right-click Drivers, and select Import.

4. On the “Locate Driver” screen of the wizard, select the location of the extracted

WinPE SoftPaq (e.g. \\sccmserver\WinPE\x86).

Figure 3 – Importing the WinPE drivers

5. Click Next until you get to the “Add Driver to Boot Images” screen of the

wizard.

Page 7

6. On the “Add Driver to Boot Images” screen of the wizard, select the boot

image of the WinPE architecture you want to use (e.g. x86), and click to select the check box Update distribution points when finished.

Figure 4 – Boot image selection

7. Click Finish.

8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 to add the x64 WinPE drivers to the x64 boot image.

Your boot images now contain all of the network and mass storage drivers for the supported HP business-class products.
