Veritas NetBackup™ Bare Metal Restore™ Administrator's Guide

Using pre-downloaded ADK executable file

In order to use a pre-dowloaded ADK executable file, the file must be downloaded on the host with internet connectivity. Refer Technote21353 for getting stepwise instruction for how to download ADK.

Download ADKsetup.exe which is required for installing the Windows ADK from http://www.microsoft.com. The Windows ADK setup program is downloaded directly from the internet by using either the graphical user interface (GUI) or the command-line. Make sure that the BMR boot server remains connected to the internet while ADK setup is running. The ADK setup downloads installation packages from the internet. The time required to complete the ADK setup varies depending on the bandwidth of the internet connection, the performance of the computer, and the Windows ADK features that you select to install.
