Special Information

Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) is a suite of utilities for Microsoft Windows customers who have subscribed to Microsoft Software Assurance program.

It aims to brings easier manageability and monitoring of enterprise desktops, emergency recovery, desktop virtualization and application virtualization.

Installation Instructions

First we will have to make the boot loaders - unfortunately we can't distribute these files without violating Microsoft Legal Policy so you'll have to make them yourself.

- Copy startrom.n1_  , ntdetect.com , setupldr.ex_ to /tftpboot from the Windows Server 2003 SP1  - i386 folder.

- Expand startrom.n1_ startrom.0

- Open startrom.0 in an HEX editor (HxD for example)

- Replace 'ntldr' with 'win\e' at: 5A57,5A82,5F8B, (3 times - CASE SENSITIVE!)

- Move startrom.0 to /tftpboot/er/plugins/erd/erdxp/

- Expand setupldr.ex_ e

- Open e in an HEX editor (HxD for example)

- Replace 'winnt.sif' with 'win\e.sif' at: 254E6, 254F2, 255C2, 2563E, 257FE, 2580A, 3C7AB, 3C7Cf, 3C7F2 (9 times - CASE SENSITIVE!)

- Move e to /tftpboot/win/

In order to run ERD Commander from PXE you need to create an image file.

Image file type can be ISO or SDI.

We will use SDI image file because it can be compressed using NTFS compression for a shorter loading time.

In order to use ISO files instead you will need to edit /tftpboot/win/ e.sif and change 'SDI' to 'ISO', Change '/rdimageoffset=36352' to '/rdexportascd'

Download {{{filename}}} to /

https://sourceforge.net/projects/erpxe/files/plugins/

extract {{{filename}}} file:

tar -xvzf {{{filename}}}
- Extract the entire ISO to the SDI image file
- Copy ramdisk.sy_ to /tftpboot from the Windows Server 2003 SP1  - i386 folder.

- Expand ramdisk.sy_ ramdisk.sys
- Move and Replace /tftpboot/ramdisk.sys to i386/system32/drivers/ramdisk.sys

All Done!!
