Chapter 9 Incorporating Sun Blade X6250 Server Module Drivers Into WIM or RIS Images 61
▼ To Add Drivers to the WIM Image
1. Extract the contents of Windows Server 2008 DriverPack.zip to a network
share (for example: \\yourshare\share\DriverPack), making sure to maintain
the directory structure.
2. Select the service image to update and export the image.
a. Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Windows Deployment
Services.
b. Find the image to service. Right-click the image and then click Disable.
c. Right-click the image and click Export Image. Follow the Wizard directions
to export the image to the location of your choice.
3. Mount the Windows image you just exported. For example,
imagex /mountrw C:\windows_distribution\sources\install.wim 1
C:\win_mount
The first Windows image in the Install.wim file is mounted to C:\wim_mount
4. Use Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM, available in Windows
AIK) to create an answer file that contains the paths to the device drivers that
you intend to install. See the Microsoft documentation for the Windows
Automated Installation Kit for the details of starting the Windows SIM
application.
5. Add the Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE component to
your answer file in the offlineServicing pass.
6. Expand the Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE node in the
answer file. Right-click DevicePaths, and then select Insert New
PathAndCredentials.
A new PathAndCredentials list item appears.
7. In the Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE component,
specify the path to the architecture folder in the DriverPack folder on the
network share, and the credentials used to access the network share.
For example, the path and credentials for a 64-bit image might be:
<Path>\\yourshare\share\DriverPack\amd64</Path>
<Credentials>
<Domain>MyDomain</Domain>
<Username>MyUserName</Username>
<Password>MyPassword</Password>
</Credentials>
