SEZOY - Releases & Test Lab

English | Tiếng Việt

This repository hosts SEZOY installers plus the ready-made VPN profile for the public test lab. Full documentation lives at https://tekdt.xyz (Docs page).

SEZOY is a Windows deployment platform: build bootable USB drives or a PXE/HTTP boot server, manage Windows ISOs, inject drivers, answer installations unattended, and monitor every client from one web dashboard.

1. Try SEZOY in 10 minutes - no install needed (public test lab)

A public SEZOY server (192.168.251.1) runs 24/7 with an open VPN Hub for testers. You (machine C) join the same Layer-2 network over VPN, bridge a test VM straight into the VPN adapter, and your VM network-boots from the remote server as if plugged into the same switch. You can also open the shared dashboard at https://192.168.251.1:5893 (if you were given access).

What you need

• SoftEther VPN Client (free) on your PC.
• VMware Workstation Pro (or any VM software that can bridge to a chosen NIC).
• A test VM: firmware UEFI, RAM ≥ 4 GB, disk ≥ 40 GB, Network Boot / PXE first in boot order.

Step 1 - Connect the VPN (import the ready-made profile)

1. Install SoftEther VPN Client, then open VPN Client Manager.
2. Create a virtual NIC once: New Virtual Network Adapter → name it SEZOY-VPN → Enable.
3. Import the profile from this repo: New VPN Connection Setting → Import VPN Connection Setting, pick SEZOY-VPN-Connection.vpn - every field fills itself in:
   • Host: sezoyhost.vpnazure.net, port 443, hub SEZOY.HUB, user tester00 tester99.
4. Double-click the connection → Connected. Errors 1 / 2 / 691 mean wrong hub/user/password or port 443 blocked - recheck and retry.

Manual setup also works (same values as above; the current password is posted in the release notes / community topic - credentials rotate occasionally).

Step 2 - HARD-bridge the VM to the VPN adapter

⚠️ Never leave bridging on Automatic. The VM would grab an IP from your home router instead of the test network.

1. VMware Edit → Virtual Network Editor (Run as Administrator).
2. Pick an unused VMnet (e.g. VMnet2), type Bridged, Bridged to: the SoftEther virtual NIC - not Automatic. Apply.
3. VM settings → Network Adapter → Custom: VMnet2.

Step 3 - Boot and test

1. Power on → PXE → the VM gets an IP like 192.168.251.x → the SEZOY boot menu appears (allow 5–15 s over the Internet).
2. Pick a shared Windows/Linux ISO and the tester template → deploy.
3. Lab etiquette (the pool holds ~50 addresses, one server for everyone):
   • One VM per person, light boot first (hardware-check ISO, Linux live), full Windows install after (gigabytes over VPN - slowness is normal).
   • Shut the VM down cleanly, then Disconnect the VPN to free the slot.
   • Never stop the host's Boot Server or quit its app.
   • Sessions idle over ~5 minutes expire - just reboot fresh.
4. Report back: VM config (UEFI/Legacy, RAM), ISO booted, SecureBoot ON/OFF, boot time, screenshot + VM MAC on errors.

Symptom	Quick fix
Boots straight to BIOS, no menu	Bridged to the wrong NIC - re-pin to the VPN adapter
Has IP but boot files time out	Weak link/firewall - retry, test with PC firewall off
Menu shows but everything is slow	Normal WAN jitter - don't reboot in a loop
VM gets a home IP (192.168.1.x)	VMnet still Automatic - pin it and reboot the VM

2. Download & install your own SEZOY

Get the installer from the Releases page of this repo:

File	Channel	When to use
SEZOY_beta.msi	Beta (vX.X.X.X-beta)	Current builds - new features first
SEZOY.msi	Stable (vX.X.X.X)	Official stable releases (when published)

• Installs per user (no admin rights needed for setup), then run SEZOY as administrator - it drives network/VPN drivers and the boot server.
• The first launch needs Internet (one-time activation + tool downloads); afterwards it runs fully offline.
• The FREE license is built in - open the app and it just runs, no key request.

3. Five-minute quick start (https://localhost:5893)

Step 1 - USB drive or Boot Server

Mode	What it does
USB Drive	Creates a bootable USB/disk that installs Windows directly, machine by machine (GPT/MBR, exFAT/NTFS/FAT32, boot themes, auto disk-select).
BOOT Server	Starts a PXE/HTTP server so clients on the network boot into the installer (ProxyDHCP recommended alongside your router, Full DHCP for isolated nets).

While the Boot Server runs, configuration locks - stop it to edit settings.

Step 2 - ISOs (3 tabs) + Deployment Modes

• ISO List: use ISOs you already have (add/remove, keep chosen editions, toggle the hardware-diagnostic ISO).
• Selenium Download: fetch genuine Microsoft ISOs (Edition → Language → Architecture), most stable.
• Fido Script: fast multi-version downloads - don't hammer it or Microsoft may throttle you temporarily.

When you pick editions for a Windows ISO, the Deployment Modes card appears:

Mode	What happens	Pick it when…
SEZOY (Panther Drop-in)	Auto disk prep + fully unattended install from your answer file	Bulk, hands-off deploys pre-configured in Unattend Generator
Microsoft Setup (Standard Setup)	Hands over to stock Windows Setup; profile/preset decides the rest	You want the original Setup experience or manual control

⚠️ USB = exactly one mode per ISO (radio buttons). Boot Server = tick several - each client's profile decides which mode it boots.

Step 3 - Post-install apps, then Create

Browse the WinGet catalog, tick what each machine should get after setup (selected packages apply to the default presets; custom presets keep their own lists), then press Create/Start and watch progress live on the dashboard.

4. Stay updated - Settings → Update

The Update page (right above About) auto-checks whenever you open it online, or check manually like Firefox/Chrome:

• Beta tab is active; Stable stays greyed out until an official release.
• Marquee bar while checking, real % + size while downloading (multi-link fallback, hash-verified).
• Defaults (all ON): auto-install after download, save to Windows temp folder, delete the .msi afterwards. Install is silent - the app closes itself to finish.

5. License & live support

• Machine fingerprint (Settings → About) uniquely identifies your PC - send it to TekDT to upgrade to PRO/ENTERPRISE. ENTERPRISE unlocks every Settings section; Language, Drivers, Update and About work on all tiers.
• Live chat: when the PC is online, a chat bubble appears in Settings and your messages automatically carry fingerprint + version + tier. Offline, the bubble hides - no queues, ever.

6. Quick FAQ

• Offline? Yes after first launch (tools + activation are one-time downloads).
• Does it modify my ISO? No - ISOs stay pristine; editions you untick are only stripped from the created device.
• SecureBoot? No need to disable. Linux ISO without a valid signature shows a reason screen instead of hanging.
• Wi-Fi boot? Needs a hotspot-capable card on the server and an HTTP-Boot-capable client; wired boot always works.
• Missing disk in WinPE? Download the MassStorage DriverPack first (Settings → Drivers).
