In this blog the Task Sequence Capture Media will be explained. Install a reference machine with Windows installation, Windows Updates and possibly Microsoft Office. Then start The burned Capture Media for starting ConfigMgr Task Sequence. For a Windows XP image the device must be placed in a Workgroup, and Sysprep deployment tools must be placed in C:\sysprep. On Windows Vista & 7 this is not necessary. Then only the device must be placed in a Workgroup. The Sysprep deployment tools are already build-in.
Choose Next, and fill in the path and name for storing the image, and use an account which has security rights for storing the image on that location. Choose Next again and Sysprep will start running. After the reboot WinPE will start, and a Capture job will save the image to the given location.
After capturing the only thing to do is importing the WIM image on "OSD - Operating System Images", and add it to the Distribution point. No additional Build and Capture Task Sequence is needed anymore! This becomes very handy when PXE boot is not working or not possible in a environment!
For OSD can also the "Bootable media" be used for deploying the image. This will be a different ISO file to create, and deployment will also works this way!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI followed the steps to capture the image and after customizations i deployed it. All the softwares which i installed were there. Also, i have made changes to display language bar docked in task bar so users can switch between different languages. But when i deployed the new captured image language bar was not there it means it is disappeared or this is the only customization which new image didn't held. Kindly guide me wat steps can i take to achieve same?
This worked for me as well with one exception. It did not keep my screen resolution, it set it back to the default 800x600. How do you run this keep your custom screen resolution?
ReplyDeleteDo you have customization for language bar?

ReplyDeleteWhat is that and where do I look to see if I have it?
It depends if you have setup and if you have given choice to users to select between different languages (spanish, chinese, korean..)
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't then it won't appear. Usually it is on right hand side on the task bar.
I am using a utility and a script to change the resolution but I hardly belv if it has ever worked or if Windows 7 automatically adjust it for me when system is set up.
