# Setup Windows to Automate Operating System Installations
Attune provides a solution to streamline the OS installation process.
This Attune Project sets up a Windows machine as a worker for automating
operating system installations.
## What is a worker?
The majority of the workload creating the ISO file(s)
is performed on either the Attune host machine or a separate machine. This
machine is referred to as the worker.
The workload covers tasks such as unpacking ISO, repackaging with the drivers
and configurations, deploying files to the controller, and triggering APIs on
the controller.
## Documentation
[Automate Operating System Installation](https://docs.attuneautomation.com/en/latest/topics/automated_os_installation.html)
# Attune
[Attune](https://www.servertribe.com/)
automates and orchestrates processes to streamline deployments, scaling,
migrations, and management of your systems. The Attune platform is building a
community of sharable automated and orchestrated processes.
You can leverage the publicly available orchestrated blueprints to increase
your productivity, and accelerate the delivery of your projects. You can
open-source your own work and improve existing community orchestrated projects.

## Blueprints
This Project contains the following Blueprints.
### Setup Windows Worker for WinPE ISOs Installations
The scripts within each step automate the Windows worker setup for automating
Windows installation using WinPE ISOs.
#### Install Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK)
Download and install the appropriate ADK and WinPE Add-On version based on the
Windows distribution.
#### Install Worker Prerequisites on Windows
Download and install 7z.
#### Setup and Create SmbShare Folder on Windows
Enable the File and Printer Sharing service,
configure the firewall for Network Discovery,
create an SMB share folder, and
setup appropriate NTFS permissions.
### Install Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit
The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) and
Windows PE add-on has the tools you need to customise
Windows images for large-scale deployment, and to test
the quality and performance of your system, its added
components, and the applications running on it.
[Microsoft Documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install)
### Create a SMB Share folder
Create a shared space for storing and accessing files.
SMB (Server Message Block) is widely supported and provides a flexible way
to connect different devices and operating systems for file sharing.
This process includes:
* Enable the File and Printer Sharing service,
* configure the firewall for Network Discovery,
* create an SMB share folder,
* setup appropriate NTFS permissions, and
* Turn off password protected sharing (optional).
