No need to find a CD, win 7 on the network

In other words, the company's computer system is transitioning to win 7, and many computers have to be installed with win 7, which is so difficult for the Technical Department staff to install a platform on duty! But now you don't have to worry about it. As long as the computer supports PXE boot, we can use any normal computer to start this book and install Windows 7 on the network, which is convenient and fast and there is no longer a constraint on the CD.
How to install Win 7 on the Internet
First, let's talk about PXE startup. PXE (preboot execute environment) is a startup technology developed by Intel. It works in the client/server network mode and supports workstation to download images from remote servers over the network, it also supports the Startup Process of the operating system from the network. Currently, almost all NICs on the computer support PXE boot. Generally, there is a menu similar to "PXE Boot" in the BIOS boot settings, indicating that PXE boot is supported. We only need to configure the startup parameters on the server and install the shared image with the genuine win 7 (which is described below). After the client is started, you can use network ing to install Win 7 (1) on the network ).

Build two network servers
Download the deep remote start manager and strongstrong PE toolkit PXE. The deep remote start manager is deployed on the server. It is used to remotely start the client computer, allocate IP addresses, and transmit the required startup files. PXE is used for the operating environment (winpe) after the network is started. It has been integrated with ghost32 and is automatically mapped to the shared resources of the server after startup.
Follow the prompts to install the "strong PE toolkit PXE" to "C: \ zjqpxe". After the installation is complete, close the "winpe PXE dedicated edition Server Settings" window, use the "Deep remote start manager" configuration.
Decompress "Deep remote start manager" to "C: \ zjqpxe", run "C: \ zjqpxe \ netbootm.exe", and click "configuration> option settings ", in the "Start configuration" option, select "C: \ zjqpxe" in the working directory, and select "pxelinux.0" (2) as the boot file ). So far, the network server has been set up.

"Imagex" creates an image
After the server is set up, we need to create the gho file, and then run "ghost32" on the started client to quickly restore it.

Start the computer that has Windows 7 installed, enter Windows 7, right-click the desktop, select "computer", and choose "Computer Management"> "Storage"> "disk management ", right-click "disk management" and select "create vhd". Follow the prompts to create a "win 7. and complete vhd hard disk initialization and formatting. Select this partition in disk management and select "Mark partitions as active partitions ".

Prepare the Windows 7 genuine installation CD, start the command prompt as an administrator, and enter "L: \ Boot \ bootsect.exe/nt60 N:" (L: indicates the disc drive letter of the CD ), change the boot records of N disks to nt60 format. Run the "imagex one-click recovery" software, click "partition recovery", select the vhd disk created above as the partition drive letter, and select "sources \ install" in the image file on the installation disc. wim, follow the prompts to release the flagship version of the image to the vhd disk (3 ).

Run "C: \ zjqpxe \ externalProgram\ Ghost \ 11.0.2.1573 \ ghost32 ", and select" partition to image "(do not select" disk to image "; otherwise, the client's hard disk data will be cleared during restoration !), Create the n-disk partition as "win 7. gho" and place it under "C: \ zjqpxe \ external program \" on the server computer. Right-click "C: \ zjqpxe \ external program", select "share and security", set the file to "everyone" share, and the share name is "op" (4 ).

Install win 7 easily at PXE startup
Now, the client computer will be started to access the network and set to start from PXE. After the IP address is allocated, the required Startup file will be automatically loaded and enter winpe. after entering the winpe system, the "my computer" will be opened ", make sure that you can see the network shared drive. On the client computer, click Start → program → ghost 11.0.2.1573, start ghost32, select partition → image, and select win 7 in the above network drive. gho "is restored to the first partition of the local machine. If the client is a brand new computer, we can use the partition tool provided by winpe to partition and format the hard disk.
The Network cloning speed is very fast. Generally, the Windows 7 installation can be completed in about 10 minutes. After cloning, disconnect the network cable and restart it to enter the Windows 7 system.
