ConfigMgr OS Deployment

As I promised earlier in the mssms mailing list, I just created a set of Wiki pages to begin documenting the ConfigMgr OS Deployment process. This includes a general introduction page with sections for various areas of interest plus a detailed description of the process and procedures I developed in recent weeks for creating a reference image. There are many sections that have not been completed. I hope other community members will jump in for those.

When reading these pages, keep in mind that they were developed from my initial experimentation in a test lab. I fully expect that they contain errors and misunderstandings, that I hope community members will point out and correct. Also, the security aspects are based on a lab environment that no one else could access. In real world use you should create and reference suitable accounts for image capture and generally assure proper access controls.
 
The one known problem with the detailed instructions is that software updates do not apply successfully before the image is captured. I'll update the instructions once that is resolved.
