•

Windows ADK for Windows 8 — obtained through download

•

Windows Server 2012 R2 or later system

•

“NetVault Bare Metal Recovery ISO Builder for Plug-in Offline Client for Windows” file — on the Quest NetVault Installation CD or downloaded from the Quest website

•

A writable DVD and CD drive

•

A blank DVD and CD

	NOTE: Quest recommends that you shut down all applications running on this machine before starting this procedure

Creating a Windows PE-based Boot System for use with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

Download the Windows ADK for Windows 8 from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652

Install the Windows ADK on a Windows Server 2012 R2 or later system.

You can use the default directory, C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0, or a different directory of your choosing.


	IMPORTANT: Installation of Windows ADK also installs Microsoft .NET Framework if it is not already installed. After .NET Framework is installed, the system is automatically restarted.

Extract the “NetVault Bare Metal Recovery ISO Builder for Plug-in Offline Client for Windows” file to the Windows ADK machine.

This step creates two files, “nvbmrisocreate.exe” and “nvbmriso.pkg.”

Verify that the path to where you intend to create the ISO image exists.

If the directory does not exist when you run the next step, the ISO image is not created.

To create the Windows PE ISO image, navigate to the directory that contains the extracted “nvbmrisocreate.exe” file, type the following at the command prompt, and press Enter:

The following list describes what you can specify for each option:

•

/TYPE: If you are working with an earlier version of the Plug-in Offline Client, enter WAIK. If you are using version 6.1 or later, you can enter ADK.

•

/PKG: Enter the full path and filename for the Plug-in Offline Client .pkg file that you downloaded separately.

•

/DIR: Enter the full path to the location of the Windows AIK or ADK directory.

•

/OUT: Enter the path where the bootable ISO image should be created.

•

/ADDDRV: Enter the full path where the downloaded device drivers are stored.

•

/BIT:32: If you must create a backward-compatible version of VaultOS for use with a 32-bit version of Windows PE, enter this option.

Example:

nvbmrisocreate /TYPE:ADK

/PKG:"<pathToFile>\nvbmriso.pkg"

/DIR:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0"

/OUT:"C:\temp\bmr.iso"

/ADDDRV:"C:\Program Files\Down Load Drivers\"

Insert a blank CD in the writable drive.

Create a CD with CD-generation software using the “bmr.iso” file generated in Step 5.

Installing VaultOS on a writable CD for use with Plug-in Live Client

The VaultOS ISO image lets you create a bootable CD that can be used to prepare a Client machine for the restore process. This procedure can be performed on any machine that meets the following requirements:

The following items are required for this procedure:

•

VaultOS ISO image, either from the installation CD or obtained through download

•

A writable CD drive

•

A blank CD

•

CD-generation software

To create the CD, perform the following steps.


	NOTE: Quest recommends that you shut down all applications running on this machine before starting this procedure

Based on installation type installation CD or downloaded file), navigate to the following directory:

…\<OperatingSystem>\vaultdr\vaultos

Locate the CD image file entitled “vaultos_x86_vxxx.iso” where xxx indicates the VaultOS software version.

If you are using an installation CD, copy it to the machine’s local hard drive. Otherwise, note the directory path to this file.

Insert a blank CD in the writable drive.

Create a CD with the CD-generation software using the “vaultos_x86_vxxx.iso” file.

For details on this procedure, see the relevant documentation for the CD-generation software in use.
