Step 3. Create Distribution Point for the Image

Now that we have added the operating system files to our available operating system installpackages, we need to create a new distribution point for it so let's do that.

Expand the newly added Windows 7 image you just added in Operating System Install

Image Packages and right click on Distribution Points, select New Distribution Points. Clicknext on the Welcome screen.

As this is not a boot image (it's an Entire Operating System), select only the first distributionpoint (do not select the PXE one)

click next and close.

Step 4. Update Distribution Point

Configure Network

Here we need to enter our network configuration and click next, choose JoinWorkgroup (recommended best practise). Although joining the domain will work just fine youmay have GPO's in place, or startup scripts (login scripts) etc which may taint your masterimage, keeping it off the domain will keep it clean.

Install ConfigMgr

click browse and pick your configmgr Client Installation Package (from definition) which we

created before

If you'd like to download a sample Build and Capture Task Sequence for Windows 7 thenclickhere.

Step 6. Advertise the Build and Capture Task Sequence

We will now advertise the Build and Capture Task Sequence to a collection called Buildand Capture 7, this collection is empty and without any membership rules, we only use it forcreating new images for Windows 7.

In the screenshot below I've created some collections for deploying, capturing or build andcapturing operating systems and this makes it easy and clear to advertise specific tasksequences to the correct collections.

Right click our newly created task sequence and choose Advertise.

Schedule

Set your schedule depending on whether you are in a Lab or Production Environment.

For a Lab Environment

Make the Task Sequence mandatory by clicking on the yellow star and select As soon aspossible.

Select ignore maintenance windows when runing program and allow system restart, setthe program rerun behaviour to always rerun program so that we can rerun the tasksequence over and over as we require for testing.

For a Production Environment

In a Production environment set the advertisement from Mandatory to Optional, this gives usless risk of an accidental deployment but also introduces thepossibilty of choice.
