iv Rescue and Recovery 4.3 Deployment Guide

Preface
Information presented in this guide is to support Lenovo computers installed with
the ThinkVantage®Rescue and Recovery®program.
The Rescue and Recovery program is an essential tool that enables users and
administrators to restore backups, access files, diagnose problems, and make
Ethernet connections if the Microsoft®Windows®operating system will not open
or run correctly. It also enables deployment of critical updates to systems that are
corrupted or off the network, as well as automatically applying patches to a
system when a restore operation is performed. The Rescue and Recovery program
helps reduce IT management costs by decreasing helpdesk calls and desk-side
visits, as well as improving user productivity.
The Rescue and Recovery Deployment Guide provides the information required for
installing the Rescue and Recovery program on one or more computers, and also
provides instructions and scenarios on the administrative tools that can be
customized to support IT or corporate policies.
This guide is intended for IT administrators, or those responsible for deploying the
Rescue and Recovery program to computers throughout their organizations. If you
have suggestions or comments, communicate with your Lenovo®authorized
representative. This guide is updated periodically, and you can check the latest
publication on the Lenovo Web site at:
http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=TVAN-ADMIN
For information about using various components included in the Rescue and
Recovery workspace, refer to the online help system and user guides that come
with the Rescue and Recovery program.

vi Rescue and Recovery 4.3 Deployment Guide

Chapter 1. Overview
The Rescue and Recovery program represents a unique combination of
ThinkVantage Technologies. This integrated application provides a suite of
powerful tools that can be used even if the Microsoft Windows operating system
will not start.
The Rescue and Recovery program has the following features:
vThe Rescue and Recovery Predesktop Area provides an environment to start
your computer when you fail to log in to the Windows operating system.
vThe Rescue and Recovery Windows environment enables you to back up the
operating system and files and restore the operating system and files in familiar
interfaces.
vThe Rescue and Recovery program enables you to store backup files on external
USB storage devices, such as USB flash drives and USB hard disk drives.
vThe Rescue and Recovery program enables you to store the backup data of
multiple computers on one storage device.
The Rescue and Recovery program includes the option to switch to a simplified
user interface with a few basic operations, or stay with the advanced user interface
with extended options. For more information on interface switching, see “Rescue
and Recovery interface switching” on page 28.
Note: Some features of Rescue and Recovery run under the Windows operating
system. In some instances, system information used in the Rescue and Recovery
environment are gathered while Windows is running. If the Windows operating
system does not function correctly, this will not prevent the Rescue and Recovery
environment from operating normally. Windows functions are not configured in
the Rescue and Recovery environment.
Predesktop Area
The Rescue and Recovery Predesktop Area provides an emergency workspace for
users who are unable to start Windows on their computers. Running under
Windows PE (Preinstallation Environment), the environment offers the Windows
look, feel, and function and helps users solve problems without consuming IT staff
time.
The Rescue and Recovery Predesktop Area has four major categories of functions:
vRescue and Restore
–Recovery overview: Links users to help topics about the various recovery
options that are provided.
–Rescue files: Enables users to copy files created in Windows applications to
removable media or to a network and to continue to work even with a
disabled workstation.
–Restore from backup: Enables users to restore files that have been backed up
with the Rescue and Recovery program.
vConfigure
–Configuration overview: Links to Rescue and Recovery environment help
topics about configuration.
–Recover password or passphrase: Provides a user or an administrator with
the ability to recover a password or passphrase in the Rescue and Recovery
environment.
© Copyright Lenovo 2008, 2009 1

–Access BIOS: Opens the BIOS Setup Utility program.
vCommunicate
–Communication overview: Links to related help topics in the Rescue and
Recovery environment.
–Open browser: Starts the Opera Web browser (Web or Intranet access requires
a wired Ethernet connection).
–Download files: Allows you to download needed files to the partition in the
\SWSHARE folder in the Windows partition.
–Map network drive: Helps users access network drives for software
downloads or file transfer.
vTroubleshoot
–Diagnostic overview: Links to the Rescue and Recovery program diagnostics
help topics.
–Diagnose hardware: Opens the PC Doctor application that can perform
hardware tests and report results.
–Create diagnostic disks: Enables you to create a set of diagnostic diskettes.
–Boot from another device: Enables you to boot from the Rescue and Recovery
CD, a set of back up CD’s, an internal drive or a detachable storage device
such as a USB hard disk drive.
Note: To boot from a USB hard disk drive or a second hard disk drive,
ensure that the hard disk drive is not compressed.
–System information: Provides details about the computer and its hardware
components.
–Event log: Provides details of recent user activities and listings of computer
hardware to aid in problem determination and resolution. The log files
provide a readable way to view activities and a set of log entries.
Note: The feature of viewing the log files is supported on select machine
types of Lenovo-branded personal computers only.
–Warranty status
The Rescue and Recovery program is available on Lenovo-branded personal
computers that come with preinstalled software. It is also available for purchase as
a CD file so that organizations can benefit from the Rescue and Recovery program
on non-Lenovo branded computers. You can then purchase separate licenses for
individual computers.
Windows environment
The Rescue and Recovery Windows environment enables users to rescue lost data,
applications, and operating systems with the touch of a button. This capability
reduces time-consuming help desk calls, which result in support cost savings.
You can schedule backups of all users’ computers, thereby limiting risk and
downtime. the Rescue and Recovery program offers your clients an extra layer of
support by pre-configuring automatic external backup to a server or external
storage. Backups are encrypted by default with the 256 AES key.
Rejuvenating
The Rescue and Recovery program can optimize system performance by taking a
new incremental backup and then defragment your hard drive. The rejuvenation
process helps eliminate viruses, adware and spyware, while maintaining your
current settings and data.

4Rescue and Recovery 4.3 Deployment Guide

Chapter 2. Installation
Prior to installing the Rescue and Recovery program, you can customize the
Rescue and Recovery XML file for your enterprise and then deploy it to client
systems. The XML file packaged with the Rescue and Recovery program is named
rnrdeploy.xml. Once the XML file is customized and installed, settings for the
Rescue and Recovery program are managed with the registry or Active Directory.
For more information, see the accompanying XML/ADM Supplement for the
deployment guide located on the ThinkVantage Technologies Administrator Tools
page:
http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=TVAN-
ADMIN#rnr
Installation considerations
The Rescue and Recovery program has two main interfaces. The primary interface
operates in the Microsoft Windows environment. The secondary interface, the
Rescue and Recovery Predesktop Area, operates independently of the Windows
operating system, in the Windows PE environment.
The Rescue and Recovery program 4.3 is designed for the Windows 7 operating
system. The earlier versions of the Rescue and Recovery program for Windows
2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista®cannot be installed on the Windows 7
operating system. Therefore, the Windows Installer program does not support the
overinstall behavior from previous versions of the Rescue and Recovery program.
It is recommended to make a new backup after installing the Rescue and Recovery
program 4.3 to your Windows 7 operating system. You can make the backup by
using either a script or the user interface.
Notes:
1. The Rescue and Recovery program only works with the non-BIOS version of
Computrace if the Rescue and Recovery program is installed first, and then
Computrace is installed.
2. If you attempt to install Storage Management Subsystem on a computer with
the Rescue and Recovery program installed with the Windows PE area already
installed as a virtual partition, then Storage Management Subsystem will not
install. Both Windows PE and Storage Management Subsystem use the
C:\minint directory for its file system. The way to have both installed at the
same time is to install the Rescue and Recovery program as a type 0x07
partition. See “Scenario 6 - Performing a Bare Metal Restore from an Admin
Backup” on page 58 for instructions.
3. A possible security risk may be created when the Microsoft Recovery Console is
installed on a system with the Rescue and Recovery program. Microsoft
Recovery Console looks for all folders with the path C:\*\system32\config\
and if it finds that path it assumes it is an operating system. If the registry
entries that require a Windows password are not present, then recovery console
will allow a user to choose the operating system and then gain access to the
entire hard drive without needing to enter a password.

Installing the Rescue and Recovery program
The Rescue and Recovery installation package was developed with InstallShield
10.5 Premier as a Basic MSI project. InstallShield Premier 10.5 uses the Windows
Installer to install applications, which gives administrators many capabilities to
customize installations, such as setting property values from the command line.
This chapter describes ways to use and run the Rescue and Recovery setup
package. For a better understanding, read the entire chapter before you begin to
install this package.
Note: When installing this package, refer to the readme file that is posted on the
Lenovo Web page at:
http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4Q2QAK

are independent of the Windows operating system. For supported Lenovo
computers, required drivers are included with the Rescue and Recovery program.
If an OEM network device in your computer is not supported, refer to the device
manufacturer documentation for instructions to add support for system-specific
network drivers. Request drivers from your OEM.
Installation components
This section contains installation components of the Rescue and Recovery program.
Administrative installation procedure
The Windows Installer can perform an administrative installation of an application
or product to a network for use by a workgroup or for customization. For the
Rescue and Recovery installation package, an administrative installation unpacks
the installation source files to a specified location.
You can obtain the setup package from:
http://www.lenovo.com/support
To perform an administrative installation, run the setup package from the
command line using the /a parameter:
Chapter 2. Installation 7

setup.exe /a
An administrative installation presents a wizard that prompts the administrative
user to specify the locations for unpacking the setup files. The default extract
location is C:\. You can choose a new location which may include drives other
than C:\. For example, other local drives or mapped network drives. You can also
create new directories during this step.
To run an administrative installation silently, you can set the public property
TARGETDIR on the command line to specify the extract location.
vFor installation target directory paths that do NOT contain spaces, use the
following command line as an example:
setup.exe /a /s /v"/qn TARGETDIR=F:\TVTRR"
vFor installation target directory paths that contain spaces, an escape character '/'
must be placed preceding the double-quoted target directory:
setup.exe /a /s /v"/qn TARGETDIR=\"F:\TVTRR\Rescue and Recovery\""
Note: If your version of Windows Installer is not current, setup.exe is configured
to update the Windows Installer engine to version 3.0. This update will cause the
installation action to prompt for a reboot even with an administrative extract
installation. Use the reboot properly to prevent a reboot in this situation. If the
Windows Installer is at least version 3.0, setup.exe will not attempt to install.
Once an administrative installation has been completed, the administrative user
can make customizations to the source files, such as adding settings to the registry.
Using msiexec.exe
To install from the unpacked source after making customizations, the user calls
msiexec.exe from the command line, passing the name of the unpacked *.MSI file.
The msiexec.exe file is the executable program of the Windows Installer used to
interpret installation packages and install products on target systems.
vFor installation paths that do NOT contain spaces:
msiexec.exe /a "Lenovo Rescue and Recovery.msi" /qn TARGERDIR=F:\TVTRR
vFor installation paths that contain spaces:
msiexec.exe /a "Lenovo Rescue and Recovery.msi" /qn TARGERDIR=
\"F:\TVTRR\Rescue and Recovery\"
The following is an example to use msiexec.exe.
msiexec /i "C:\WindowsFolder\Profiles\UserName\
Personal\MySetups\project name\product configuration\release name\
DiskImages\Disk1\product name.msi"
Note: Enter the preceding command as a single line with no spaces following the
slashes.
For information on command line parameters and public properties, go to the
Microsoft Web site at:
http://www.microsoft.com
Installation log files
The log file rrinstall43w.log is created in the %temp% directory if the setup is
launched by the setup.exe file (double-click the install.exe file to run it without
parameters, or extract msi and run the setup.exe file). The log file contains log
messages that can be used to debug installation problems. The log file includes any
8Rescue and Recovery 4.3 Deployment Guide

actions performed by the Add/Remove Programs applet from Control Panel. The
log file is not created when your are running the setup.exe file directly from the
MSI package. To create a log file for all MSI actions, you can enable the logging
policy in the registry. To do this, create the following value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"Logging"="voicewarmup"
The following table shows examples of installations using the setup.exe file.

Rescue and Recovery installation
The following instructions are for the files that can be downloaded separately from
the Individual language files for Large Enterprise download page.
1. The main installation executables for the Rescue and Recovery program are:
vZ902ZISXXXXUS00.exe
vZ902ZABXXXXUS00.tvt
where XXXX is the build ID. This is a self-extracting installation package that
extracts the installation source files and launches the installation using the
Windows Installer. It contains the installation logic and the Windows
application files. The package does not contain any of the Predesktop Area files.
2. Predesktop Area US Base (approximately 135 MB): This is the password
protected zip file that contains the entire Predesktop Area US base. Its name is
in the following formats:
vZ902ZISXXXXUS00.exe
Chapter 2. Installation 9

vZ902ZABXXXXUS00.tvt
where AB determines the compatibility of the Predesktop Area and XXXX is
the build id. This file is required to install the Predesktop Area on all language
systems. This file must be in the same directory as the main installation
package (either installation executable or Rescue and Recovery.msi if extracted
or OEM install). The exceptions to this are if the Predesktop Area is already
installed and does not need to be upgraded or if the property PDA=0 is set on
the command line when executing the installation and the Predesktop Area
(any version) does not already exist.
The Windows Installer will compare the current Predesktop Area’s
compatibility code against the minimum version compatibility code and take
the following actions based on the results:
vCurrent code > Minimum code:
The Windows Installer presents a message that the current environment is
not compatible with this version of the Rescue and Recovery program.
vCurrent code = Minimum code:
The Windows Installer compares the current version level against the
minimum version level. If the current level is greater than or equal to the
minimum level, the Windows Installer looks for a .tvt file with a
compatibility code (for example: AA, AB) that is equal to the minimum
version compatibility code and a level that is greater than the current version
level (all other version fields in the .tvt filename must match the minimum
version exactly). If it does not find a file, the install process continues
without updating the Predesktop Area. If the current level is less than the
minimum level, the Windows Installer will look for a .tvt file with a
compatibility code (AA or AB). that is equal to the minimum version
compatibility code and a level that is greater than or equal to the minimum
version level (all other version fields in the .tvt filename must match the
minimum version exactly). If a file is not found meeting these criteria, the
installation is halted.
vCurrent code < Minimum code:
The Windows Installer will look for a .tvt file with a compatibility code (for
example: AA, AB) that is equal to the minimum version compatibility code
and a level that is greater than or equal to the minimum version (all other
version fields in the .tvt filename must match the minimum version exactly).
If a file is not found meeting these criteria, the installation is halted.

The installation package for the Rescue and Recovery program contains a set of
custom public properties that can be set on the command line when running the
installation. The available custom public properties are:
Table 3.
Property Description
PDA Specifies whether to install the Predesktop
Area. Default value is 1. 1 = install
Predesktop Area.0=donotinstall
Predesktop Area. NOTE: This setting is not
used if any version of the Predesktop Area
already exists.
CIMPROVIDER Specifies whether to install the Common
Information Model (CIM) Provider
component. Default is to not install the
component. Specify CIMPROIVIDER=1 on
the command line to install the component.
EMULATIONMODE Specifies to force the installation in
Emulation mode even if a Trusted Platform
Module (TPM) exists. Set
EMULATIONMODE=1 on the command line
to install in Emulation mode.
HALTIFTPMDISABLED If the TPM is in a disabled state and the
installation is running in silent mode, the
default is for the installation to proceed in
emulation mode. Use the
HALTIFTPMDISABLED=1 property when
running the installation in silent mode to
halt the installation if the TPM is disabled.
ENABLETPM Set ENABLETPM=0 on the command line to
prevent the installation from enabling the
TPM
SUPERVISORPW Set SUPERVISORPW=”password”onthe
command line to supply the supervisor
password to enable the chip in silent or
non-silent installation mode. If the chip is
disabled and the installation is running in
silent mode, the correct supervisor password
must be supplied to enable the chip,
otherwise the chip is not enabled.
Including the Rescue and Recovery program in a disk image
You can create a disk image that includes the Rescue and Recovery program. This
deployment guide takes PowerQuest and Ghost as examples.
Note: If you plan to create an image, you must capture the Master Boot Record.
The Master Boot Record is critical for the Rescue and Recovery environment to
function correctly.
