OSD w/Sccm (vista) part 2

Image Capture:

  1. Automation w/task sequence
    • Wizard
    • Customize/build task sequence to install updates and apps, configure settings
    • advertise that task sequence to reference computer
    • automate install of setup.exe
  2. Driver Catalog: used for 1 image
    • Keep the device drivers separate from the WIM itself--so you can update them seperately during OSD process
    • Drivers Node; drivers are assigned to Driver Packages
    • Two task sequences: auto apply driver (for PnP ones detected) - apply driver (for non-PnP detected, but you know the client will want those drivers
  3. USMT
    • State Migration "Deletion Policy, Delete after setting--so USMT .mig files are automatically deleted after xx days.
  4. Apps installs
    • pre-installed on the image
    • packageid/program (just do it, no conditions)
    • use a task sequence w/variables to determine what to install (packageid/program; i.e., to get Marketing apps)
    • Or... [personal opinion] just use softgrid (who needs locally installed apps?)
  5. note: 1 checkbox for "install all approved updates"--any/all updates approved in SMS for deployment will be installed during deployment.
  6. Migrating from SMS 2003 OSD FP
    • Must uninstall OSDFP before upgrading an SMS 2003 site.
    • Existing deployment packages are preserved, they can use replicated copies in child sites not yet upgraded, can be deleted, but cannot be advertised or modified from SCCM console.
    • images must be recaptures--you cannot use existing images.
    • sms 2003 clients will reject task sequence ads--clients must be sccm clients
  7. If using BDD 2007 moving to Sccm07, whitepaper coming on migrating custom actions developed for BDD into sccm07
