Windows NT 5 (Windows XP / Windows Server 2003)

Windows NT is a proprietary graphical operating system produced by Microsoft and its first version was released on July 27, 1993. It is a processor-independent, multi-processor and multi-user operating system.

This edition of Windows NT 5 is a member of the Microsoft Windows NT family, beginning with Windows 2000 and ending with Windows Server 2003.

Pre-Installation Preparations

• Extract source tree, in this guide we will assume C:\NT.
• Remove the Read Only setting, including subfolders and files.
• Create desktop shortcut for %windir%\system32\cmd.exe /k C:\NT\tools\razzle.cmd free offline
• Open razzle window using shortcut you created

Building

• Performs clean rebuild of all components: build /cZP
• Builds only components that have changed since last clean build: build /ZP
• Mount RTM CD and execute tools\missing.cmd (optionally, perform this step for every SKU)
• Execute tools\postbuild.cmd (use -sku:{sku} if you want to process only specific one, expect filechk errors if you ignore this and have skipped on missing.cmd optional step)
• You can modify your razzle shortcut (or execute command manually inside C:\NT) to include (or remove) additional argument(s):
  • free - build 'free' bits (production, ommiting it will generated checked bits)
  • CkhKernel - build 'checked' (testing) kernel/hal/ntdll when building 'free' bits
  • no_opts - disable binary optimization (useful for debugging, but will most likely fail a full build, some code can't be built without optimization)
  • verbose - enable verbose execution of the build process
  • binaries_dir <basepath> - specifies custom output directory (default is binaries, the suffix added after . is non-customizable)
• Other options are not described here, see razzle.cmd /? for details.

Generating ISO Files

• Execute tools\oscdimg.cmd {sku} [destination-file (optional)] where {sku} is one of:
  • srv - Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
  • sbs - Windows Server 2003 Small Business Edition
  • ads - Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
  • dtc - Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition
  • bla - Windows Server 2003 Web Edition
  • per - Windows XP Home Edition
  • pro - Windows XP Professional
• ISO will be saved to {build-drive}\{build-tag}_{sku}.iso, unless [destination-file] is provided as a parameter.

Generating New Build Name/Number (Optional)

• Version information is stored in \public\sdk\inc\ntverp.h
• You can also use nmake set_builddate set_buildnum set_buildname -f makefil0 to generate new build name quickly.

Timebomb (Optional)

• Can be enabled or disabled by commenting or uncommenting timebomb.cmd entry in \tools\postbuildscripts\pbuild.dat
• If enabled, time can be adjusted by editing \tools\postbuildscripts\timebomb.cmd
  • Time can be adjusted by editing DAYS variable inside \tools\postbuildscripts\timebomb.cmd (line 44)
  • Setting DAYS to 0 will disable the timebomb.
  • Only certain DAYS parameters are valid (0, 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 240, 360, 444)
