Network Booting CBMR & TBMR from a RIS/WDS Server for a WinPE Based Disaster Recovery

1.0 Introduction
RIS (Remote Installation Services) was introduced with Windows 2000 as an optional component. Initially,
it supported only the distribution of Windows 2000 Professional, but with Service Pack 3 allowed for
the remote installation of Windows 2000 Server. RIS was subsequently updated twice; once to support
Windows XP, and again to support Windows Server 2003.
With the release of Service Pack 2 for Windows Server 2003, RIS was replaced with Windows Deployment
Services (WDS) which supports the deployment of Windows 2008 R2 Server, Windows Vista and Windows
7.
This document gives an overview of how to setup the Windows PE based DR environment for CBMR so
that it can be network booted from a RIS or WDS server; it is not intended to be a fully instructional guide
for the process of installing RIS or WDS, or any advanced options thereof. For information relating to this,
you should consult the Microsoft installation guides which can be found at http://www.microsoft.com
This guide is also applicable to TBMR although the screen shots shown are all from a CBMR example. The
Method is exactly the same for both CBMR and TBMR.
In addition, this document assumes that you have a working RIS or WDS server already running. If you
do not, you should consult the Microsoft documentation in order to install and congure your RIS or WDS
server.
1.1 Using WinPE1 or WinPE2
At this point you should establish whether you are using WinPE1 or WinPE2. If you have downloaded
CBMR from the Cristie website, you can check the name of the ISO (eithercbmr622win86_x64-pe1 or
cbmr622win86_x64-pe2), or check the label on the CD if your copy of CBMR has been supplied to you
in this way.
You can also check by looking in the root of the CD or .ISO; since WinPE1 will have the le: CBMR_DR.ISO
in the root of the .ISO, whereas WinPE2 will not.
WinPE2 will not work on a RIS server; RIS is a service only used on versions of Windows Server up to and
including 2003 SP1 and Windows XP (WinPE1 technology).
WinPE2 is based on Windows Server 2008, Vista, and Windows 7 technology and should be used for
recovery of those operating systems.
If you are using WinPE2, therefore, you should refer to section 3.0 which covers how to boot from a serverrunning WDS. You can install WDS on a Windows Server 2003 by installing Service Pack 2, if you wish.
Note:
The scenario for the RIS Server, using WinPE1, used in this document was created using
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 1.
The scenario for the WDS Server, using WinPE2, used in this document was created using
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 2. Note that using WDS is exactly
the same in this version of Windows as it is in later versions of Windows Server (i.e. 2008R2).

2.0 RIS Server
The following section relates to network booting CBMR or TBMR WinPE1 from a RIS server.
2.1 Prerequisites
Prior to installing RIS on a suitable server, please be aware of the following prerequisites:
RIS only works on a Windows Domain and the Domain (Active Directory) server must be available when
installing/conguring RIS.
DHCP must be congured and available on a server somewhere.
The RIS server must have a single NIC.
RIS image database must be installed on a separate disk or partition from the Windows Boot/System
partition(s).
The RIS server can be a member server if necessary.
Remember to authorise the RIS server in Active Directory during RIS installation.
2.2 Prepare the CBMR or TBMR WinPE1 les for use on the RIS Server
Before setting up the RIS environment for WinPE1, nd the appropriate les on the CBMR or TBMR
product CD or ISO image.
The les required are:
CBMR_DR.ISO (or TBMR_DR.ISO)
startrom.com
ntdetect.com
setupldr.exe
CBMR_DR.ISO will be found in the root directory of the CBMR product CD or ISO (as will its TBMR
equivalent). The other three les are supplied in a directory called risbootles on the root of the CD (or
ISO).

2.3 Adding the CBMR or TBMR WinPE1 boot image to a RIS server
Boot images are Windows PE images that you boot a client computer into to perform a system restore
using CBMR or TBMR.
You can use the command line for this or Windows Explorer (as is shown in the examples). Ensure that
you have your CBMR or TBMR CD inserted in the CD/DVD drive in the server, or accessible through a valid
network connection, so that you can retrieve the les needed here.
1. Navigate to the \RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images folder on the RIS server, and then
create a sub-folder for Windows PE called winpe:
2. Then create a sub-folder in the \winpe folder named: i386 (gure 2).

3. Copy the customised
Windows PE ISO
image le (CBMR_
DR.ISO or TBMR_DR.ISO) from the
CBMR or TBMR
CD or ISO into the
winpe\i386 folder.
Figure 3
4. Create a sub-folder
in the \winpe\
i386 folder named
\templates.
Figure 4
5. Copy Ntdetect.
com, Setupdlr.
exe and Startrom.
com to the winpe\
i386\templates
folder. These les
can be found in the
RISBOOTFILES
folder in the root of
the CD or ISO.

6. Rename Setupldr.exe to Ntldr (gure
6).
7. Create a text le named Winnt.sif in the \winpe\i386\templates folder with the following text:
[SetupData]
BootDevice = ramdisk(0)
BootPath = \i386\System32\
OsLoadOptions = /noguiboot /fastdetect /minint /rdexportascd /rdpath=%INSTAL
LPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%\cbmr_dr.iso
Architecture = i386
[RemoteInstall]
Repartition = No
[OSChooser]
Description = Cristie CBMR
Help = RIS Network Boot Setup - CBMR
LaunchFile = %INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%\templates\startrom.com
ImageType = Flat
Version = 6.1 (0)
Figure 6
The cbmr_dr.iso le shown at the end of line 3 underSetupData (shown in bold above) should, of
course, be tbmr_dr.iso if you are using TBMR.

If client computers fail to start using RIS restart the RIS service on the server by typing the following
commands:
net stop binlsvc
net start binlsvc
You will nish with the les in the templates directory as shown here (gure 7). This is the nal step andyou can now attempt to remote boot the client. See section 2.4.1: Boot the CBMR or TBMR DR WinPE1
client from the RIS server.
Figure 7
If you wish, you may check that the CBMR image is correctly installed by selecting Active Directory Users
and Computers from Administrative Tools.
Select Domain Controllers from the tree on the left of the window, right-click on the correct Domain
controller that is running RIS, select Properties and then the Remote Install tab, click the Advanced
Settings button and then select the Images tab.
The CBMR image should appear here along with any other images installed.

9. When the download completes the CBMR or TBMR DR Console will start (gure 14). Once you have
agreed to the licensing term you can start the recovery as normal. Refer to whichever document isapplicable to your software; either the CBMR 6.2.x Windows Based Recovery Guide for WinPE1 or the
TBMR User Guideboth are supplied with the software.
Figure 14If you cannot see the CBMR image when booting from the RIS client, please check that all the syntax in
the Winnt.sif le is exactly as specied here. Even slight errors or omissions can result in the image not
being detected, or simply not working at all.

3.0 WDS Server
As stated earlier, the scenario for the WDS Server used in this document was created using Windows
Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 2.
3.1 Prerequisites
AD DS. A Windows Deployment Services server must be either a member of an AD DS domain or adomain controller for an AD DS domain. The AD DS domain and forest versions are irrelevant; all domain
and forest congurations support Windows Deployment Services.
DHCP. You must have a working DHCP server with an active scope on the network because Windows
Deployment Services uses PXE, which relies on DHCP for IP addressing.
DNS. You must have a working DNS server on the network before you can run Windows Deployment
Services.
NTFS volume. The server running Windows Deployment Services requires an NTFS le system volume for
the image store.
Credentials. To install the role, you must be a member of the Local Administrators group on the server. To
initialize the server, you must be a member of the Domain Users group.
Boot & Install Images. Before you can deploy a custom image (i.e. a CBMR or TBMR image) you must
have at least on Boot Image and One Install Image installed. To achieve this, install the default images
provided on the installation CD for Windows Server 2008 R2.
Ensure the client machine has at least 512Mb of RAM which is the minimum amount of RAM for
using Windows PE2.
3.2 Adding the CBMR or TBMR boot image to a WDS server
1. Open the WDS console in your Windows Server and right-click on Boot Images (gure 15). Select
Add boot image from the menu.
