Highlevel Steps
- Use LC ISO Creator to create an ISO of the 2008r2 DVD
- Use 7zip to extract the ISO to c:\temp\WindowsISO
- Download and extract the Dell USB 3.0 Drivers to c:\temp\USB
- Use DISM GUI to add the drivers to both boot.wim indexes(1,2) and the install.wim indexes(1,3,5)
- Create the new ISO with oscdimg
Oscdimg -m -o -u2 -udfver102 -bootdata:2#p0,e,bc:\temp\WindowsISO\boot\etfsboot.com#pEF,e,bc:\temp\WindowsISO\efi\microsoft\boot\efisys.bin c:\temp\WindowsISOc:\temp\New2008r2.iso - Burn to DVD or mount in iDRAC to boot from
Detail Steps
- Put the Windows Server 2008 R2 media in to the DVD drive
- Open LC ISO Creator
- Use the dropdown to select the DVD drive you put the 2008R2 DVD
- Click the Create ISO button
- Save the ISO to c:\temp\2008r2.iso
- Right click c:\temp\2008r2.iso and select 7zip, extract files
- Type c:\temp\WindowsISO and click the OK button
- While the files are extracting download the USB 3.0 driver to inject
- Right click the donwloaded USB 3.0 drivers and select, 7zip, extract files
- Type c:\temp\USB and click the OK button
- Open DISM GUI as administrator
- Type “C:\temp\windowsiso\sources\boot.wim” in the WIM File and click Display WIM Info. You should see something like this displayed
- Create a new folder c:\temp\mount
- Type “c:\temp\mount” for the Mount Location
- Click the Mount WIM button
- Click the Driver Managment tab
- Type or copy and paste this path “C:\temp\usb\Intel_C230_USB3.0_MDNM0_A00_1spark\Intel_C230_USB3.0_MDNM0_A00\Intel_USB_3.0_xHC_Driver_Skylake_PV_4.0.0.36\Drivers” to the Drivers Folder Location
- Click the Add Drivers button
- Verify that you see “The operation completed successfully.” in the DISM Output window
- Click the Mount Control tab
- Click the Dismount WIM button and click Yes to commit the changes
- Now here is a tricky part. There are 2 indexes in the boot.wim and they both need to have the drivers added for this to work properly. So we have to now select index 2 from the drop down list next to the Choose WIM button and repeat steps 15 thru 20
- Once you have added the drivers to index 1 and 2 of the boot.wim we can move on the to the install.wim
- Type “C:\temp\windowsiso\sources\install.wim” in the WIM File and click Display WIM Info. You should see something like this displayed
- Now for another trick part. To add the drivers to all 8 of the intall.wim indexes we will need to repeat steps 15-20 one at a time just like we did for the boot.wim.
TIP: If you know you only need the Standard Edition then you will only need to add the drivers to index 1 and your done. I think most of you would like to add the driver to index 1, 3 and 5 or Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter to cover your bases. - Select Index 1 from the drop down next to the Choose WIM button and repeat steps 15-20 for each index you wish to add drivers.
- Now we need to create the ISO to burn to DVD or use for USB boot
- Right click c:\temp\oscdimg.zip and select 7zip, extract files
-
- Type c:\temp and click the OK button
- Open and Admin Command Prompt and type or copy and paste the following command:
c:\temp\oscdimg -m -o -u2 -udfver102 -bootdata:2#p0,e,bc:\temp\WindowsISO\boot\etfsboot.com#pEF,e,bc:\temp\WindowsISO\efi\microsoft\boot\efisys.bin c:\temp\WindowsISO c:\temp\New2008r2.iso - Burn the ISO to DVD with your favor burning software or mount the ISO from iDRAC to boot into
Notes:
- No Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit required
- All programs should be run as administrator
On Step 11, you may need to run the DISM GUI as administrator depending on the UAC settings of the workstation being used.
I have add “as administrator” to step 11. Great catch! Thanks you. =)
