Configuring the Test Environment
Note This content applies to the Windows Logo Kit (WLK). For the latest information using the new Windows Hardware Certification Kit (HCK), see Windows HCK User's Guide on the Windows Hardware Dev Center.
Before you can run the logo tests, a DTM administrator must have performed the steps described in DTM Controller and Client Configuration.
Many of the tests in the DTM require a test system to restart (often more than once) to complete a test run. As a result of this, it is recommended that you do the following:
Configure your test computers to boot from the regular boot sector of a hard drive and not from external devices, CD, or DVD boot discs.
Follow the guidelines to enable automatic logon on your test computers (client computers) in the DTM Lab Security topic.
You might also need to configure your test clients specifically to the logo tests you plan to run. For example, if you are testing a specific device, you must ensure that each client has the device connected to it, and the necessary drivers are installed and configured.
To configure your test clients to test for a Windows logo, read the "Testing" topic under "Logo Tests: Device and Driver Technologies" that is appropriate for your device class.
After you have configured the testing environment that is appropriate for your device, you can follow the steps in the generic logo submission exercise to familiarize yourself with the submission process.
