OEM Install of Ubuntu Server [14.04.3]

I am trying to do an OEM install of Ubuntu Server (14.04.3) but cannot seem to get it working. I have managed to do a Ubuntu Desktop (14.04.3) easily.



Why?



I am trying to this to:




  1. Install all current updates

  2. Install open-vm-tools, sssd and other packages


  3. "install" some in house scripts

  4. Put the initial config in for SSSD, so a custom "join-domain" script can be run which just does the final steps to test and join the domain once deployed.

  5. Have a consistent base build which can be used for VM Servers.



Can someone please point me at a step by step guide to achieve this similar to the one for Desktop OEM Installation.



Many Thanks for your help on this.

I tried to add images properly but I'm not allowed to, very unhelpful!!!



I have tried this:




  1. Select OEM Install (for manufacturers) from installation media boot menu (Screenshot: i.stack.imgur.com/tg5WX.png)

  2. Install Ubuntu Server as normal (Screenshot: i.stack.imgur.com/l4pgz.png)

  3. Install Additional Packages (Screenshot: i.stack.imgur.com/me1t2.png)

  4. Initial config of packages


  5. Try and run oem-config-prepare (Screenshot: i.stack.imgur.com/RNHM8.png)
    ERROR MESSAGE
    The program 'oem-config-prepare' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
    sudo apt-get install oem-config



Please advise what I am doing wrong?
