In this example we will deploy a Windows 11 machine in version 24h2. Deployment via USB is recommended for enhanced security. Additionally, the offline connection with DJOIN eliminates the need to pre-create a computer account in Active Directory. It also prevents storing an Active Directory user's login credentials in the XML file. Requirements ============ - A raw image of windows 11, 24h2 (downloaded from the `official Microsoft website `_). - The necessary system drivers for your machine to be deployed. - A configured DHCP server. - The WAPT server must be able to exchange with the machine to be deployed. - Have a dns resolution with a domain controller from the console. - Install the `WADS-REQUIREMENT-MININAL `_ packages on the wapt console. - User with local administrator rights on the WAPT server. - User who signed the exe files ( Tools > Sign deploy file) and configuration files. - A empty usb stick .. note:: Official WADS documentation :ref:`here ` | Demonstration video (WAPT 2.2 version): .. youtube:: jpwNkCdceVI :width: 100% | Creating a WINPE USB stick ========================== - Open the WAPT Console. - Insert an USB stick on your computer. - Go to *OS DEPLOY* panel. - Click on :guilabel:`Create WinPE USB stick` → (select your usb device). - You can see the master certificate (Add your certificate if you don't see it). (1) - Choose the keyboard language (for example: fr, en, es, pt, de, etc.) . (2) - Check the other parameters before confirming with OK . .. figure:: wapt-resources/WinPE_creation.png :align: center :alt: WinPE creation WinPE creation - You need to set up an account with *administrator privileges* to retrieve the key information **twice**. - Remove the USB Stick. | Creating a XML configuration ============================ - Go to the configuration panel in *OS DEPLOY*. .. figure:: wapt-resources/WAPT-Configuration_panel.png :align: center :alt: Configuration panel Configuration panel - Click on the :kbd:`+`. - Choose a configuration name. (1) - Choose your iso. (2) - Choose a configuration file by clicking on the document icon (in this quickstart we recommend **offline mode**, so we don't have to create the machine account in Active Directory).

Stages in the deployment of a computer ========================================= | On the computer to be deployed ------------------------------ - Turn off the machine. - Insert the stick on the computer to be deployed. - Start the computer and charge the **boot menu** (Use *F10* or *F12* when the computer starts up ), select your USB stick. - Let the computer start. - A box will appears, inform your login and password and give a name to the computer to be deployed. - A new box appears **Registration Successful**. .. figure:: wapt-resources/WADS-Computer_waiting_to_be_deployed.png :align: center :alt: Computer waiting to be deployed Computer waiting to be deployed | On the WAPT console ------------------- - Return to the *OS DEPLOY* tab in the WAPT console and do a refresh ( :kbd:`F5`). - Select the line of the computer name to be deployed: * Right-click > :guilabel:`Select a Configuration`, take the configuration you have done previously and :kbd:`OK`. * Right-click again> :guilabel:`Change Drivers`, select your drivers (warning; no exe, only extrated drivers) and :kbd:`OK`. - Right-click on the computer to be deployed → :guilabel:`prepare Djoin` (this allows you to specify in your Active Directory the Organizational Unit where your new machine will be registered). * Fill in the domain. (1) * Fill in the domain controller. (2) * Click on :guilabel:`Connect to Domain and Reload OU`. (3) * Prefer the :guilabel:`overwrite` option in order to re-register the computer if necessary. (4) * Select your desired Organization Unit.
