PXE Boot for ESX4 Install

So I want to set up an automated ESX4 install server, PXE boot servers over the network pick up a vmware ks.cfg and build the server unattended. Is there a step by step guide anywhere on how to do this?

Thanks

Brett

Hey Brett,

Have a look at the Ultimate Deployment Appliance. Article here:

This is what I use for my automated ESX builds (and my other OS builds for that matter!)

Hope this helps.

Dan
