Windows NT 5 (Windows XP / Windows Server 2003)

Windows NT is a proprietary graphical operating system produced by Microsoft, first 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, starting with Windows 2000 and ending with Windows Server 2003.

Pre-Installation Preparations

1. Extract the source tree. In this guide, we will assume C:\NT.
2. Remove the Read Only setting, including subfolders and files.
3. Create a desktop shortcut for:

   %windir%\system32\cmd.exe /k C:\NT\tools\razzle.cmd free offline

4. Open the razzle window using the shortcut you created.

Building

• Clean Rebuild: Performs a clean rebuild of all components:

  build /cZP

• Incremental Build: Builds only components that have changed since the last clean build:

  build /ZP

• Mount RTM CD: Execute tools\missing.cmd (optionally, perform this step for every SKU).
• Post-Build: Execute tools\postbuild.cmd. Use the -sku:{sku} option if you want to process only a specific SKU. Expect filechk errors if you skip the optional missing.cmd step.

You can modify your razzle shortcut (or execute the command manually inside C:\NT) to include (or remove) additional arguments:

• free: Build 'free' bits (production, omitting it will generate 'checked' bits).
• CkhKernel: Build 'checked' (testing) kernel/hal/ntdll when building 'free' bits.
• no_opts: Disable binary optimization (useful for debugging, but will likely fail a full build since 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 the dot is non-customizable).

For more options, see razzle.cmd /? for details.

Generating ISO Files

Execute the following command to generate ISO files:

tools\oscdimg.cmd {sku} [destination-file (optional)]

Where {sku} is one of the following:

• 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

The ISO file 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 the following command to generate a new build name quickly:

  nmake set_builddate set_buildnum set_buildname -f makefil0

Timebomb (Optional)

The timebomb feature can be enabled or disabled by commenting or uncommenting the timebomb.cmd entry in \tools\postbuildscripts\pbuild.dat.

• If enabled, time can be adjusted by editing \tools\postbuildscripts\timebomb.cmd.
• Modify the DAYS variable inside timebomb.cmd (line 44):
  • Setting DAYS to 0 will disable the timebomb.
  • Valid DAYS parameters: 0, 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 240, 360, 444.
