What Is Windows To Go?
Windows To Go enables users to boot a self-contained
copy of Windows 8 from a USB storage device
Windows To Go considerations:
• Hibernate and sleep are disabled by default
• Internal disks are offline
• TPM is not used
• Windows Recovery Environment is not available
• Push Button Reset is not available
• Create Windows To Go in Windows 8 Enterprise only
Discussion: Common Installation Errors
• What potential issues might you encounter when
installing Windows?

Lab Scenario
You must perform a Windows 8 installation on
a laptop computer from one of the Windows 8
testers at A. Datum Corp. You must ensure that
the computer meets the requirements for
Windows 8, install the operating system in the
cleanest state possible, and confirm the success
of the installation.
Lab Review
• After you test your operating systems on the
virtual machines on the test computer, how can
you migrate those virtual machines to the
production environment?
• Why would you not use Windows 8 Enterprise in
the situation that the lab presents?
Lesson 4: Automating the Installation of Windows 8
• What Is the Windows Imaging File Format?
• Tools for Performing an Image-Based Installation
• The Image-Based Installation Process
• Using Answer files to Automate the Installation Process
• Demonstration: Building an Answer File by Using Windows
SIM
• Building a Reference Installation by Using SysPrep
• What Is Windows PE?
• Demonstration: Creating Bootable Windows PE Media
• Using ImageX to Capture and Apply the Installation Image
• Modifying Images by Using DISM
What Is the Windows Imaging File Format?
A file-based disk image format that contains
compressed files used to install operating systems
•
One image for many hardware configurations
•
Multiple images in one file
•
Compression and single instancing
•
Offline servicing of the image file
•
Installation on partitions of any size
•
Modification of image files using APIs
•
Nondestructive deployments

The Image-Based Installation Process
1. Build an Answer File
2. Build a reference installation
3. Create a bootable Windows PE Media
4. Capture the installation image
5. Modify the installation image (Optional)
6. Deploy the installation image
Using Answer files to Automate the
Installation Process
An answer file passes information to Windows Setup in
order to automate the step process
Answer files are composed of two sections:
• Components
• Packages
Windows SIM is used to:
Create a new answer file for a Windows image
Edit an existing answer file
Add additional device drivers to an answer file
Demonstration: Building an Answer File by Using
Windows SIM
• In this demonstration, you will see how to build an
answer file by using Windows SIM
Building a Reference Installation by Using SysPrep
Prepares an installation of Windows for duplication,
auditing, and delivery
Use Sysprep to:
• Remove system-specific data from the Windows
operating system
• Configure Windows to start in audit mode
• Configure the Windows operating system to start
the Windows Welcome phase
• Reset Windows Product Activation
Sysprep.exe [/quiet] [/generalize] [/audit | oobe]
[/reboot | /shutdown | /quit] [/unattend:answerfile]
What Is Windows PE?
Windows Pre-installation Environment is the core
deployment foundation for Windows 8
Benefits:
• Can be used to start a computer that has no
functioning operating system installed
• Replaces MS-DOS as the preinstallation environment
for creating customized Windows 8 installations
• Can be contained within a .wim file for rapid
installation on a new computer
Designed to be used for three specific tasks:
• Installing Windows 8
• Troubleshooting
• Recovery
Demonstration: Creating Bootable
Windows PE Media
• In this demonstration, you will see how to create a
bootable Windows PE media
Using ImageX to Capture and Apply the
Installation Image
A command-line tool that you can use to capture,
modify, and apply file-based WIM images
Use ImageX to:
• View the contents of a WIM file
• Capture and apply images
• Mount images for offline image editing
• Store multiple images in a single file
• Compress the image files
• Implement scripts for image creation
ImageX [/flags “EditionID”] [{/dir | /info | /capture |
/apply | /append | /delete | /export | /mount |
/mountrw | /unmount | /split} [Parameters]
Modifying Images by Using DISM
DISM is a command-line tool that you can use to service and
manage Windows images
Use DISM to:
• Apply updates, drivers, and language packs to a Windows image
• Add, remove, and enumerate packages and drivers
• Enable or disable Windows features
• Apply changes based on the offlineServicing section of an Unattend.xml
answer file
• Configure international settings
• Upgrade a Windows image to a different edition
• Prepare a Windows PE image
• Take advantage of better logging
• Service earlier versions of Windows
• Service all platforms (32-bit, 64-bit, and Itanium)
• Service a 32-bit image from a 64-bit host, and service a 64-bit image from
a 32-bit host
• Make use of old Package Manager scripts

Lab Scenario
You have been asked to modify the answer file
that is being used for the A. Datum Windows 8
installation process. A. Datum is deploying a test
group of Windows 8 computers, and they would
like to have a standard installation that requires no
user input as part of the setup process.
Your task is to create a new answer file that
automates the installation accordingly, and use it
to test an installation of Windows 8 on LON-CL4.
Lab Review
• Why would you use an answer file when you
configure the installation of only one computer?
• If you need to deploy this answer file to numerous
computers in your environment, what tools could
you use?
Lesson 5: Activating Windows 8
• What Is Microsoft Volume Activation?
• What Is the Key Management Service?
• Troubleshooting Volume Activation
What Is Microsoft Volume Activation?
Volume Activation:
• Provides simple, security-enhanced activation for
enterprise organizations
• Addresses issues associated with volume license keys
in previous Windows versions
Volume Activation Models:
• MAK uses product keys that can activate a specific
number of computers
• KMS enables organizations to perform local
activations for computers in a managed
environment without connecting to Microsoft
individually
