With the Windows PE (Win PE) Pre Boot Support you now have another possibility to install Windows operating systems. It now allows all customers to create their own – Powershell based – packages and using their own tools – pretty similar as creating and using software packages on Windows. Having this flexibility, it gives you more options to realize full featured OS provisioning (e.g. including BIOS settings or updates using vendor specific tools).

The Win PE Pre Boot Support contains the following components:

• The Boot Configuration in the Matrix42 Management Console where the Windows PE (Win PE) based PXE images can be configured and created.
• The Win PE based PXE images, which contain a Win PE Pre Boot environment, in which the Win PE Agent runs.
• The Power Shell-based Matrix42 Pre OS packages, which are executed in the Win PE Pre Boot environment by the Win PE agent and can, for example, run a Windows deployment.

The Win PE Pre Boot Support as part of Matrix42 OS Installer is provided continuously and independently of the Empirum releases in order to deliver new features and bug fixes quickly and easily.

The current version of the Win PE Pre Boot Support can be downloaded from the Matrix42 Marketplace
