Add Operating System Image
In System Center Configuration Manager 2007 expand Operating System Deployment and right click on Operating System images, choose Add operating System image.
Note: Some versions of the Server 2008 DVD may end up placing the OS on D:\ when you add the image using the origional ISO or DVD.If you want to avoid the OS ending up on D:\ instead of C:\ then please do a Build And Capture Task Sequence of the OS and use the captured WIM file as the file (operating system image) I use below.

Having previously copied the Windows Server 2008 DVD to a network share, when the Add Operating System image wizard appears, point it to the path where the Windows Server 2008 install.wim file can be found
eg:
\\WIN-AE2V1IRN067\iso\Server 2008\sources\install.wim

fill in the operating system details and review the summary

click close when done.
Create Distribution Point for the Image
Now that we have added the install.wim file to our available operating systems, we need to create a new distribution point for it so let's do that.
Expand the newly added Server 2008 image you just added in Operating System Images and right click on Distribution Points, select New Distribution Points.

when the wizard appears click next, then select only the first of the two distribution points (do not select the PXE one as this is not a PXE boot image....)

click close at the confirmation screen.

Add new Operating System Install Package
Next we will make an Operating System install package, this package will contain the files necessary to support the installation of the Windows Server 2008 install image we created above.
In SCCM ConfigMgr expand the Operating System Deployment node and select Operating System Install Package from the list of available options., right click and choose Add Operating System Install Package

point to the UNC path of the root of our Windows Server 2008 DVD (which we copied to a network share earlier)
eg:
\\WIN-AE2V1IRN067\iso\Server 2008

fill in the details

click next and review the summary and then click close

now that we've added this package, we again need to distribute it to our distribution point, however we will add it only to the normal distribution point and not the pxe one.
Expand the Operating System Install Package node we've just added, right click on Distribution Points and choose New Distribution Points.

click next when the wizard appears and select the first of the two dist points, then next again

click close when done.
