Password protect WDS


n00b

Recommended Posts


Hi!

U can setup WDS so that u need to authenticate once u try to access the install images kept on the WDS when booted into WinPE 2.0..... that would be the default scenario.

And the part where u wanna format the drives can be done in two ways..... mount and edit the boot.wim file, then edit the startnet.cmd batch file to perform the actions u want to have in there... this would be the "old" approach..... the new would be to create a .xml file (using WAIK/WSIM) for the boot image that u r using to boot from (WinPE 2.0), then in the Windows PE section u can perform the custom disk operations prior to the installation of the image. I think the values for disk operations can be found in the unattend.chm file that comes with the WAIK! They would look something like:

<DiskConfiguration>
<Disk wcm:action="add">
<DiskID>0</DiskID>
<WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk>
<CreatePartitions>
<CreatePartition wcm:action="add">
<Order>1</Order>
<Type>Primary</Type>
<Extend>false</Extend>
<Size>3000</Size>
</CreatePartition>
<CreatePartition wcm:action="add">
<Type>Primary</Type>
<Extend>true</Extend>
<Order>2</Order>
</CreatePartition>
</CreatePartitions>
<ModifyPartitions>
<ModifyPartition wcm:action="add">
<Active>true</Active>
<Format>NTFS</Format>
<Label>VistaBoot</Label>
<Letter>H</Letter>
<Order>1</Order>
<PartitionID>1</PartitionID>
<Extend>false</Extend>
</ModifyPartition>
<ModifyPartition wcm:action="add">
<Active>false</Active>
<Extend>false</Extend>
<Format>NTFS</Format>
<Label>BitLocker</Label>
<Letter>C</Letter>
<Order>2</Order>
<PartitionID>2</PartitionID>
</ModifyPartition>
</ModifyPartitions>
</Disk>
<WillShowUI>Never</WillShowUI>
</DiskConfiguration>

Hope it works out for u....
