DriversWinpeVmwareThis is a collection of files that Ive created for use with the Reaper Digital Audio Workstation software. These files will be of particular use the blind Reaper. In this post we will see how to import VMware drivers to your SCCM boot image. Imported device. Imported device drivers can be added to boot. We did a lot of work to make our uanttended installation CDDVD to work wihich VMware ESX and its works now for us. We added the mass storage drivers to it. Vmware System Center Configuration Manager. Recently we did a customer private cloud project where we used all the system center tooling http www. VMware. One of the scenarios that the customer had in mind, was to provision all there virtual servers with SCCM and we had to use Opalis to become the glue between VMware BMC Remedy and System Center. In the first step of the project we didnt use the Change request mechanism from BMC Remedy yet. Special thanks to my colleague Gunther Dewit for helping me out on this one. Disclaimer This is a very basic workflow we will post improvements as we go along it is for helping people moving forward Disclaimer The workflow itself. Learn how to create a bootable Windows PE 3. USB drive. First you you create the bootable USB stick, then you copy the WinPE 3. The first step in creating a workflow is doing a custom start where we could input some necessary variables. The Custom Start Activity is used to create a generic starting point for Workflows. By adding parameters to the Custom Start Activity it can consume external data which can be passed to downstream Workflow Activities. Below you will find Driver CABs for Dell Enterprise class systems Latitude, Optiplex, Precision to be used to simplify OS deployments on those systems with. Using DPInst. exe to install Plug and Play drivers in Windows 7 or Windows 8. This post is about finding and deleting Leaf Objects from Active Directory user objects, like ActiveSync Device data using Powershell commands. These are the parameters the workflow needs in further steps. All the rest of the information that is residing in the data bus of Opalis . This input is required, without it, the workflow wont start. A popup will be presented when starting the workflow. Now that we have all the necessary input required, we can continue with the creation of the virtual machine. What Are Questions To Ask During The Question Game'>What Are Questions To Ask During The Question Game. In order to create a virtual machine, we need to provide some parameters, some of them will come from the Custom start step, others will have to be adapted per workflow. Drivers Winpe Vmware' title='Drivers Winpe Vmware' />These are the required parameters. Name This is the name that will be given to the virtual machine, we will get it from the Custom Start  where we filled in a name. Datastore This is the datastore that will host the virtual machine disk, we will get it from the Custom Start  where we filled in the datastore. Disk. MB Since it was decided to have a fixed disk with a size of 1. GB, we filled it in directly instead of asking it in the first step. Disk. Storage. Format This is the thick or thin format, thin was decided as the default format. Memory. MB This is the amount of memory that will be given to the virtual machine, we will get it from the Custom Start where we filled in an amount of memory. Num. CPU This is the number of CPUs that will be given to the virtual machine, we will get it from the Custom Start where we filled in the number of CPUs we need. CD It was decided that all VMs will have a cd drive so we set this to true. VMSwap. File. Policy This will set the swapfile policy the states where the swapfile will be saved, it was decided to do this in the VM itself. VMHost This is the physical host where the VM will be hosted, this integration pack cannot provision on cluster yet so you need to choose a physical host. Guest. ID This is the OS version that will be installed on the VM. Folder This is the foldername where the VM will be installed as shown in the ESX console. You can add more details trough the optional properties button. If all goes well, the workflow has created the virtual machine now. Now we need to change some things on the virtual machine. First we need to change the network settings. The VM name, we get from the Custom Start, since this is a read action, no further settings are needed. Alternatively, you can specify some filters to narrow the data that you receive back. Alternatively, you can specify some filters to narrow the data that you receive back. Now we will delete all the network connection that VMware made by default because they are useless to us. The Network Adapter name is data that we got back from the read action above and the VM name is still the name entered at the Custom Start. This will remove all network adapters from the VM, alternatively, you can specify filters if you only want to delete a specific adapter. Now we need to add a network adapter to the VM. The VM name is still the name we entered at the Custom Start. The Network. Name is the name of the network that you want your network adapter connecting to. The Start. Connected specifies if it will be connected to the network or only added without being connected. The Type is e. 10. VMware adapter SCCM can work with. Now we do another step to get the properties from the newly created adapter so we can use the information to input the computer into SCCM. Now that we collected the necessary information for SCCM, we can import the computer into SCCM. This is done by a powershell script that needs to input parameters, the name and the MAC address. Now that the computer is known is SCCM, we need to add it to the collection that has the OSD advertised to it. The is done by the following step. In the collection field, you can enter 2 things, either the name of the collection or the ID of the collection. What you enter must match the collection value type. If you enter an ID as shown here, the value type must be ID as well. The same is true for the computer where we use the name from the Custom Start step so the value type is name in this case. Now that the VM is created and provisioned in SCCM, we are ready to deploy the operating system on it. So lets power on the VM. The only thing you need to power on a VM is the name and we still get the from the first step. Now that the VM is booting up, SCCM can start the task sequence to deploy an operating system on the VM. Meanwhile, we will check the progress in Opalis. The advertisement ID is the ID as it is known in SCCM and the computer name is still the name as we specified in the first step. Now since the OSD deployment takes some time to complete, we will let the step loop until it gets a result back from SCCM. It will recheck every 3. SCCM that the deployment was successful in order not keep the loop while the deployment was finished faster then in 8 loops. Now we need to output the result to any medium you want logfile, mail, I do an output to a text file as an example. Now how does Opalis know when to write to which log file This can be regulated by double clicking on the arrows. This is the arrow toward the success file. As you can see, it will only follow this arrow when SCCM outputs a succeeded message for the advertisement. If not, it will take the other path towards the failed log file.

So, It is not so easy to get it all together, but if I may give a great tip Write down all steps of your manual flow  and then try to translate them into an opalis workflow Hope it Helps ,Kenny Buntinx.
