Please note that this guide is designed to get you Deploying Windows 7 with SCCM in a LAB Environment as quickly as possible. This guide is provided as is, if you find any errors please report them in the forums. In a production environment please consult Technet for best practise, see below links: Operating System Deployment: Operating System Deployment in Configuration Manager Overview of Operating System Deployment Configuration: System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Best Practices: Configuring Configuration Manager Sites for Best Performance Checklist for Security Best Practices Best Practices for Central and Primary Site Hardware and Software Configuration Best Practices for Operating System Deployment This guide assumes that you've installed and configured SCCM 2007 already and that you have set it up to deploy operating system's such as Windows Vista SP1. In addition you must have installed SP2 for ConfigMgr. It is available for download here. The most up to date version of this Guide will always be found in the Deploy 7 section of the windows-noob.com forums. For best practise information about deployments using SCCM you should always consult with Microsoft Technet. Step 1. get the ISO I chose the 64bit Enterprise version which was en_windows_7_enterprise_x64_dvd_x15-70749.iso. Now that you have the ISO, mount it or burn it to DVD and copy the contents of it (all files and folders) to a network share on your SCCM server. Step 2. Add Operating System Install Package In System Center Configuration Manager 2007 expand the Operating System Deployment node and right click on Operating System Install Packages, choose add operating system install package. When the Add Operating System Install Package wizard appears, point it to the path where the Windows 7 operating system files can be found eg: \\SCCM\sources\os\7\rtm\x64\ent\ fill in the name, version and a comment about the image review the summary and verify the confirmation Step 3. Create Distribution Point for the Image Now that we have added the operating system files to our available operating system install packages, 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. Click next on the Welcome screen. As this is not a boot image (it's an Entire Operating System), select only the first distribution point (do not select the PXE one) click next and close. Step 4. Update Distribution Point now that we have created a distribution point, let's update it, so right click on distribution points and choose update distribution points, answer yes when prompted.

you are welcome the data loss has inspired me to change my backup routine (automated), from now on I will backup the SQL databases daily. cheers anyweb

windows-noob.com was down for about 12 hours and lost data due to a FORCED hardware reboot (i didn't do it) the reason for the reboot was I submitted a support ticket to the host asking why i was getting network timeouts they rebooted my server without asking me, as a result, the database got corrupted and data was lost the reason i was getting network timeouts > http://noc.leaseweb.com/status.php?i=294 apologies, but I had to restore the site database from a backup i did on sunday so some days data lost. cheers anyweb

Despite the success of the Windows 7 beta, which got leaked before it was officially released and had several deadline extensions, Microsoft isn't exactly sitting still. The beta build, with build number 7000, was built on December 12th, 2008, so that leaves enough room between then and now for several newer builds. One such build got leaked this weekend, and it contains some minor changes compared to the beta build. via osnews.com

try updating your hardware inventory client agent schedule time to every hour or so for a test. does it help ?

ok after looking through your logs theres quite a lot of errors in many places, so it's hard to say for sure what is up, when you say you reinstalled IIS did you re-enable webdav and all those settings ? what IS working on your SCCM server and what fails ?

edited post and added query. Use the following query for the collection: select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM .SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName = "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007" or SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName = "Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007" or SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName = "Microsoft Office Standard 2007" cheers anyweb

assuming you've followed my Deploy XP guide in SCCM then it's more than possible. Add Operating System image right click in Operating System deployment and choose add operating system image, browse to the network location of your captured XP wim image. review the image details click next next and close... Duplicate the Task Sequence Select your Deploy XP task sequence, right click it and choose Duplicate. Use the Duplicate Task Sequence for the following actions (this means we are making a copy of the original Task Sequence and editing the copied/duplicated one instead.) Edit The Task Sequence the Operating System Deployment section, right click on Task Sequences and choose to edit your Deploying XP task sequence. look for this section in Apply Operating System change it to Apply Operating system from captured image... browse to the captured WIM file click ok when done Create Task Sequence Media choose Stand alone media from the options select your media type and give the ISO file a name set a password to protect your media select your task sequence review the details select the distribution points with all the packages required on them... [in this example there are 4 packages, and one dp has all 4 packages listed as 4 of 4...] so it looks like this if you are using variables, then add them here review the summary the ISO file will be created... and you are done, burn the ISO to DVD and and test it ! Can I read about this on Technet ? To see Technet's version of Stand Alone Media, read here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb632784.aspx

thanks a lot ! my hopes are to make this site THE place to come for sccm info because I know that when I was learning this stuff, it was impossible to find information that worked cheers and i look forward to you joining in ! anyweb

hello and welcome ! you should enable dhcp on the DC, the dhcp on your router will not be sufficient. please post these questions as new topics in the SCCM section cheers anyweb

have a read of this post

in control panel, click on View 32 bit control panel it's in there !

imagine you have systems being imaged and would like to know what stage they are in during the task sequence, well as long as you have reporting enabled on your SCCM server you can view this information simply select the following report Status of a specific task sequence advertisement for a specific computer Right click on the Report and choose Run from the menu When the webpage appears, click on Values and supply it with the Advertisement ID and Computername, once done you can view the Last Status Message Name or click on the arrow beside the computername to get a detailed report.

thanks for that and please do help out where you can either by responding to others questions or contributing content cheers anyweb

who's next ? After much, much, much speculation, Microsoft let the cat out of the bag today: due to weak results, Microsoft is going to cut 5000 jobs. Those 5000 jobs will disappear over the course of 18 months, with 1400 jobs being cut immediately. Quarterly results, as well as the cost-cutting measures, were made known in a press release today. via osnews.com

you'll need a script to remove the computer from the collection try this one

i don't think there are any free E books on SCCM but if you find some let me know! however you DO have my SCCM guides so, start with them first good luck !
