Populating the $OEM$ installation folder

Hope someone can help.

I am trying to set up a WINPE boot automated W2K3 build from a network Share using the SmartStart Toolkit etc..

I need to populate the $OEM$ folder on my deployment share from the latest SmartStart CD.

Is there a quick and easy way to do this?

(I think the old DOS (non-Win32) SmartStart Toolkit used to have a batch file ?UNETFIL.CMD? that populated the $OEM$ folder. is there an equivalent?

Any help gratefully received. Feel free to email at -ravi.cabral@syntegra.com

Thanks,

Ravi

Re: Populating the $OEM$ installation folder

Since nobody has bothered replying, I will say that I have used my previous method to do this. Namely,

1. Initiate a SmartStart initiated install

2. When the OS installation reboots the PC after the 1st part of setup, reboot to a Windows PE CD instead.

3. In Windows PE copy the C:\$OEM$ folder that SmartStart has created to the network connected deployment server.
