%TOC%

After installing the standard CSCF Windows Image, you will need to do the following
---++ Configure networking
   * Note: If the machine is on VLAN 84/168/7, and the MAC address is in the Inventory database, then the machine will get its IP address via DHCP and no further configuration of the network is necessary

---+++ Configure ONA to set the port for the correct subnet (once deploying PC)
   * http://ona.uwaterloo.ca/
   * Occasionally, the VLAN is not trunked to the correct switch - that will stop networking for not otherwise apparent reason

---+++ Test Windows installation
   * Boot the machine into Windows
   * Look for any error messages and get past them - may need to boot to recognize new device(s)?
   * login as cscf-adm or cscf-op(on local system)
   * Prior to F07: X-Win32-XServer -> Unblock

---++++ (No longer necessary -> handled by GPOs) Enable Windows Defender icon in status bar 
   * Open Windows Defender
      * Tools -> Options
      * Toggle radio button - "Show icon all the time"

---+++ Join the PC to the Domain (not usually necessary for School PCs) 
   * Follow the notes here: [[JoiningTheCS-GeneralDomain]]

---+++ Move the machine to a Research OU
   * Add the machine to the relevant Research OU according to the following notes - CF.ADaMnge
   * If in doubt, just put the machine in the Research OU

---+++ Add CS-GENERAL\userid to local Administrators group
---++++ Method 1 (easiest, but only works *after* the machine is added to the CS-GENERAL domain)
   * Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Add
      * enter the User ID and Domain: CS-GENERAL 
      * Member of group Administrators

---++++ Method 2
   * My Computer -> Manage -> Local Users & Groups -> Groups
      * Administrators -> right-click - Add member  (check exact wording ???)
      * add CS-GENERAL\userid
      * use credentials youruserid-adm  (we think this is necessary)

---++++ Reboot PC

---++++ Leave it mellow on the network for a while, reboot a couple times

---++++ Check GPOs (optional)
   * Login as RSGInstall on CS-GENERAL (non-privileged userid)
   * Make sure that GPOs get applied (you may see the Microsoft Printer Migrator Window)
      * may need to sit for 24 hours?  overnight to get updates (AV, WSUS)?
   * check that printers are defined


---++ If you actually need to do a re-install
---+++ Step by step Windows Installation
   * Set the BIOS to Boot from network
      * Turn on computer -> DEL (BIOS SETUP UTILITY) -> BOOT -> IBA -> F10 to save
   * Determine the PC configuration
      * Boot:TUFFTEST (Enter) -> F2 (Configuration Menu) -> a) Current Configuration (check for info about this computer)
   * Boot the install environment
      * Reboot the computer
      * Run UNIV -> if works well, it will display x:BOOTDISK\PQDI.550>  ([[if it does not work]])
      * Input CD x:\BOOTDISK (Enter)
   * Run GHOST
      * x:\BOOTDISK>CD GHOST (Enter) -> now run GHOST (Enter) -> OK (Enter)
      * Choose LOCAL -> DISK -> FROM IMAGE
      * I:[Images]Network drive (Enter) -> Core (Enter) -> X2GEN02.GHO (Enter)
      * Select local destination drive by click on the drive number (Drive 1 -> OK (Enter)
      * Destination Drive Details -> OK -> YES (about 18 minutes) -> Reset computer
   * Reset BIOS boot Settings
      * Boot order: 1) DVD -> 2) Drive 1
