[AusNOG] PXE Boot Installations

[Nathan Brookfield]

It's a pretty broad brush you stroke Sir but I agree with you, SDN related to Sys Admin could be a little touch and go but really every single one of us knows when we post somewhere what is network related and what isn't.

Nathan,

The only thing I would really like to clarify is that Sysadmin stuff related to network infrastructure - should be acceptable for discussion.

>From open source routers, to servers which relate to monitoring of networks, out-of-band management of infrastructure, SDN, server infrastructure networking, etc etc... should be ok.

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.
