HP MediaSmart EX470 Clean Windows Server 2003 Setup<\/a><\/h2>\n

Installing a clean Windows Server 2003 on a headless (no video out) system is not a simple task.\u00a0 I would not recommend attempting this without having either a lot of experience with OS deployment or a lot of patience and desire to learn.<\/p>\n

There are generally two ways to do this on the EX47x series: one is to hook into the network boot loader used for recovery mode and push down an image, and the other is to use a pre-configured hard drive.\u00a0 With either method you must have an installation of the OS pre-configured.\u00a0 The most straight forward method is to take a hard drive to another system and install Windows Server 2003, then use Sysprep to prepare for an unattended installation.<\/p>\n

I attempted to write a guide here<\/strong><\/a>, but just remember this is not for the faint of heart.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0All credit goes to MediaSmartGuy\u00a0whom I copied and modified these instructions<\/strong><\/a> from (and which are tested and known to work flawlessly — Thank you!)<\/p>\n

Set Java Path in Windows<\/a><\/h2>\n

I’ve created a small executable that takes the work out of setting the java environment variable that some people struggle with. It was created using bat2exe<\/a> and makes life simple if you just want Java to work from the command line.<\/p>\n
