On March 21, the first day of MMS 2011, I announced the immediate availability of the Deployment Research blog and Deployment Research Facebook page. Sites filled with video-tutorials on how to deploy operating systems. Information about this new site, as well a bunch of other deployment related community sites was by the way also printed (thank you FedEx) and put in the attendee-bag (Thank you Microsoft) for every MMS 2011 attendee, about 4000 people.

This also means that the deployvista.com blog will not be much active anymore. It will still exist, but the content will gradually be migrated over to the new site, cleaned-up and converted into the new format…

Happy deployment, and I hope to see you online in the forums…

 Preinstalling the Virtual Server R2 Shunt Driver Minimize
Location: BlogsJohan Arwidmark    
Posted by: johan 2/21/2007

Here is a quick but hopefully useful guide for preinstalling the Virtual Server R2 Shunt Driver into Windows Server 2003.

Extract the contents from the SCSI Shunt Driver.vfd file (found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual Server\Virtual Machine Additions) to a folder, C:\Drivers\MSVMSCSI in this example (Note: move the content in Win2003 folder up one level, eg. the same level as txtsetup.oem)

The content of the C:\Drivers\MSVMSCSI folder should have the following files

MSVMSCSI
msvmscsi.inf
msvmscsi.sys
TXTSETUP.OEM
vmadd_msvmscsi_sys.cat

Then modify the TXTSETUP.OEM file to look like below

[Disks]
d1 = "Microsoft VM Accelerated Additions Driver Disk (Windows Server 2003)", \msvmscsi, \

[Defaults]
scsi = MSVMSCSI_2003

[scsi]
MSVMSCSI_2003 = "(Windows Server 2003) Additions Accelerated SCSI Driver", msvmscsi

[Files.scsi.MSVMSCSI_2003 ]
driver = d1, msvmscsi.sys, msvmscsi
inf    = d1, msvmscsi.inf
catalog = d1, vmadd_msvmscsi_sys.cat

[HardwareIds.scsi.MSVMSCSI_2003]
id = "PCI\VEN_9004&DEV_7078&SUBSYS_70781414&REV_02","msvmscsi"


On the distribution share, containing the Windows Server 2003 SP1 setup files, create a folder structure like \i386\$OEM$\TEXTMODE, copy the C:\Drivers\MSVMSCSI content to this folder.

On the distribution share, containing the Windows XP SP2 setup files , create a folder structure like \i386\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\MSVMSCSI, copy the C:\Drivers\MSVMSCSI content to this folder.

Then Modify the unattend.txt file to look like this

[MassStorageDrivers]
    "(Windows Server 2003) Additions Accelerated SCSI Driver" = OEM
    "IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = "Retail"

[OEMBootFiles]
    msvmscsi.inf
    msvmscsi.sys
    TXTSETUP.OEM
    vmadd_msvmscsi_sys.cat
    MSVMSCSI

[Unattended]
    OemPreinstall = Yes
    OemPnPDriversPath = "Drivers\MSVMSCSI”
    DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore
