How to add new OS to RDP?

[Mike Reves]

Hello all, I don't know how to add a new OS to my RDP? (ver 6.8 252) We just purchased Windows 2003 DataCenter edition and I need to add both the 32 and 64bit versions to our deployment schemes. Can some one help?

HP does not support Windows DataCenter w/o having a TAM assigned to account. Thus you can't go to the HP web site and D/L drivers for DataCenter, also the OS is pre-loaded on the server. Thus everything I say going forward is *unsupported*.

You maybe able to hack out a process buy using an existing job (Use the Windows Ent version). If you havn't installed Windows Enterprise on the RDP server even better. Go to the RDP media and under the directory PIM run SETUP.EXE select Windows 2003 Enterprise and provide the Windows DataCenter CD when prompted.

If you already have Windows Ent loaded you'll need to copy the Job remane it. Then copy the Windows media bits to the RDP server and edit the new job to point to the correct directory. It's not too hard you just need to understand how the current scripts work.
