[Task Sequence to avoid complete disk format]

No it will not prompt for anything. It will just wipe the partition instead of formatting it.

 

 

Hi Peter,

 

Great ....!! It works...Thanks.

[Task Sequence to avoid complete disk format]

Remove the step Format and Partition Disk from your Task Sequence. Now the Task Sequence will only Wipe the partition on which you want to install the OS.

 

 

Thanks for reply.You mean like standard installation from DVD this will prompt for disk & partition configuration...??

 

Thanks.

[Task Sequence to avoid complete disk format]

Hi ,

 

My Scenario,

 

I have captured image of Dell latitude E5400. For project requirement We need to create standalone boot media such as DVD .

 

I have Configured custom TS with following settings,

- Restart in Windows PE.

- Partition Disk.

- Disk number :0

- Disk type : Standard(MBR)

- Volume : System Primary:20480 MB fixed size. NTFS file system

- Apply Operating system image...<Image>

- Apply Windows Setting.

- Apply Networking setting : WORKGROUP

Created a task sequence media to configure Stand Alone boot (CD/DVD) media.

 

Problem..!!

 

Whenever I am going to install image from CD/DVD. It complete format the HD & creates a single drive of 20GB.so if data exist on other drive goes to complete loss

 

 

What I want..??

 

So I want to configure TS such that , TS must be prompt for configure partitions though they exists or not....Please guide me or if you related documents please provide me...

 

 

Thanks.

[Need guidence to migrate standlone WDS to SCCM..]

Hello Everyone,

 

Currently I am using standalone WDS server for OS deployment in mixed mode & want to migrate SCCM-OSD. I passed through the some documents about SCCM-OSD but still I have some doubts about the same..as ,

 

1. Would SCCM-OSD (PXE Environment) feature gives us option to choose image(s) like in WDS...? (As my experience with

WDS , it gives me list of all images available in console....also in disk & partition wizard it shows me all

existing partition(s) .....will SCCM offer similar for me.....??

2. Can I import existing WDS images into ConfigMgr_07...?

3. Consider SCCM/WDS & DHCP server are separately hosted. do I need to configure "Boot server host name" & boot file

name on scope option of DHCP server ( DHCP Option 66 & 67 ) as well IP helper addresses in switch/router as I have in existing environment.

 

Thanks in advance.
