Evening all,
My brain is kinda mushy right now, and google fu must be really weak
right now.
I'm trying to determine if I can get arch info via a batch script or
some other mechanism that is available in a PE environment.
I can add to the PE if necessary, ultimately the goal is to just have
the generic PE do what I need without having to customize it too much.
The end goal is close... I'm pxe booting machines, using ipxe, with
http for transfer, starting a Windows install with a somewhat custom
autounattend.xml file. The install(s) use a install.wim file that
contains all current SP, etc. This allows me to install a machine, and
not have to spend 2 days playing the Windows update game. Probably the
biggest win out of all this is that other than setting up reference
machines, it's all done with Open Source tools. Well, Okay technically
the xml file was originally created between WAIK, and an online tool,
then tweaked by hand. All the reference machines are VMs.
Having rambled on about that... The answer I'm seeking is how to
determine whether I want to install x86 or x64 without user
intervention. Most of the hardware is x64, but not all of it. Can I do
this easily?
Mike
