Still doing the SQL thing though because i automate it with PS. Another solution would be to ask for a daily report.It is not that big deal to receive the backup report as well. Simple and fast (i am already doing that with Sesam, Veeam and Netbackup). With the backups themselves it depends on the administrator and how far is he willing to go.My approach to that is the following(considering that i am the sole responsible if something goes wrong):Įvery backup system has a database.All that an administrator needs is a read-only account on that database.Then with a simple SQL query you can see if there is a succesfull backup for your servers.

"Their" pre-prod is valuable even more than the live one.and you should treat it like the production one as well :-/ I would also like to mention that sometimes the pre-prod environment does not exist in the corporate Network.More than 50% of the applications that run on our Servers come directly from external partners that just install them and update them without even sometimes letting you know.Imagine how difficult it is to keep track of the documentation, changes and the automated users tasks you mentioned before. For them it is your test environment, not theirs. Ĭoncerning the pre-prod environment (when one is present), the key users also dont want to spend extra time testing the updates on your test environment. Yes some simple login tests can be automated but still you add up extra workload.multiply that by 1000+. Keep in mind that if an administrator takes that road he must also test/reconfigure/update the automation processes that he already created. Maybe it has to do with the diversity of the applications that they are already installed. I still find it impossible to automate user tasks on a server. I guess it all comes to our experiences so far. In this example, 'G:' is the drive letter of your flash drive. Then, copy winpe.wim to the correct folder:Ĭopy c:\winpe_x86\winpe.wim c:\winpe_x86\ISO\sources\boot.wim.Launch the Deployment Tools Command Prompt and enter this command: Once you have installed the WAIK, you'll find a folder of the Windows AIK on the Windows Start Menu. WinPE 3.0 is part of the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) for Windows 7, which you can download here. Be careful to choose the right disk in 3 because this procedure will erase the whole drive! Copy the WinPE 3.0 files to the USB drive ^ Replace '#' with the drive number of your USB drive. For your convenience here is the command sequence, which you should run on a command prompt with admin rights:

I have already described this procedure in my post about the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. You will see that the procedure described here is much more convenient than most solutions you'll find on the web.īefore you get started, you have to make your flash drive bootable.

In this article, I will describe how you can create a bootable Windows PE 3.0 (WinPE) USB stick, and, in my next post, I will show how to add your own rescue tools and how to keep your rescue stick up-to-date without much hassle. However, it is also useful in creating your own customized rescue boot media. Windows PE (Preinstallation Environment) was originally designed to deploy Windows. This also applies to the Windows 7-based edition, Windows PE 3.0. When Windows Vista was released everyone had access to Windows PE 2.0. For Windows PE 1.0, the minimalist Windows based on Windows 2003/XP, you needed an SA (Software Assurance), OEM, or ISV license.
