[AusNOG] PXE Boot Installations

[Daniel Watson]

 I completely understand where you are coming from Nathan :D

Thus i feel the need for a different list that people could subscribe too that are interested in SAG

I'm in the process of setting up a AusSAG mailing list at present, and would LOVE if some of the NOG guys whom don't mind could sign up,  It will be live in 10 at http://lists.aussag.net/mailman/listinfo/aussag

I think every single one of us here in one way or another dabbles or gets stuck doing Sys Admin work but I just don’t want to subscribe to mailing lists about it, that’s all.

It’s nothing specifically against you Daniel but when I check my e-mails on a Sunday and think ow something interesting on the NOG, I would love it to be about NOG, not SAG.

 Most operators act as System Administrators in ONE way or another.... that fact has already been proven in the past

Regardless of that fact   it would stop a lot of bitching if people could post to a SAG ...

Not trying to cause an argument here or piss anyone off..   I just would like a bit of help from the general community, and shouldn't have to pay SAGE-AU for a quick response..

Why would the Australian Network Operators Group need to start a Sys Admin mailing list . . . .

 Thus  AusNog is in the need of a sysadmin mailing group and these issues wouldnt happen

I hate to sound like a broken record but I second this.  Why am I being spammed with Sys Admin crap! How many times do we have to go over this . . .

Not sure how many times you need to be reminded that this is a Network Operators Group?

Gday Noggers,

We are now using PXE Boot installations to install all our servers from dedicated servers, to virtual servers and all servers in between

As part of the installation process with Windows 2008 R2 installations, it allows to setup additional services / features during the installation's post install,

ServerManagerCmd.exe -install Web-Server -allSubFeatures -restart
ServerManagerCmd.exe -install SMTP-Server -allSubFeatures -restart
ServerManagerCmd.exe -install telnet-client -allSubFeatures -restart
# 3 = automatically download but do not install updates, change to 4 for fully automatic
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" /v AUOptions /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f
# We do always want to automatically install the critical RDP bugfix
net stop TermService /y
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Remote Desktop" new enable=yes
wuinstall.exe /install /match KB2621440

I was wondering if anybody on or off list might be able to provide some instructions on how to add to the script to set our WSUS and timeserver before it updates windows

If anybody can provide assistance I would be highly appreciative.

TIA

D.
