How would I create a package that has the quickset and the rest of the drivers? Would I just do the quickset then copy all of the drivers into the folder that it creates? Then create the quickset package?

When you create the quickset for a computer do you also have to have a driver package create with all of the other drivers for that model of the laptop? I'm trying to did it for the E6510, E6410, E6500 and E6400 series and quickset was replaced with Control Point.

Ok, I got an ideal on what to do now, the only other thing is that for the new E series laptops don't use quickset, they use Control Point Manager. Would this be the same setup as quickset? Or should I manually add the drivers into a package in SCCM? Thanks guys for all your help so far.

Ok, I'm going by your guide in the following link: http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/569-how-can-i-deploy-windows-xp-sp3-using-sccm-2007-sp1-part-1/ The last question I have is how do you setup the special settings for windows? Examples: -They want the quick launch bar activated -They don't want the Desktop Cleaup Wizard to run -Certain Screensaver -Internet Explorer Homepage set to our sharepoint site I mean just little stuff like that. Also, I tried the quickset on my reference computer and it failed say I need to install a newer version of Windows installer, but I have that computer fully updated with the updates from Microsoft. Also the speed question that I had earlier right now the images are around 3.5GB's if I do this with everything won't that make the image even bigger which would take alot longer? Unless you know of a way to speed it up? Thanks again niall

Ok I read your post for the quickset, but now I guess what I'm asking is how to I create the image and what about all the programs? Like I said the way I did it now was create a reference computer with XP and all the software and just ran the capture disk. Then I created the boot media cd. Drivers, software are all on the .wim file.

I was wondering if there is a way to create a USB Stand Alone Media for SCCM 2007 R2 that you would be able to choose between images? Right now we have many different models of laptops and I don't want to make a DVD for each of them, so I was wondering if we could use USB with multiple images. Example Laptop Models: -E6510 -E6410 -E6500 -E6400 -D830 -D630 If this is possible how would I do it? Right now I used the capture disk in SCCM to capture the reference computer with all of our software and then created the boot disk to deploy the image. This works fine besides it taking over an hour to deploy per computer. Which if there is anyway to speed that up that would be great too, because before we used Ghost and it only takes about 15 minutes to deploy the same image. Thank you,

We are using SCCM 2007 R2 but I'm new at SMS. I see two computers in the unknown computer collection but not the test computer. We did try and add the computer to the deployment collection using the membership rules, but it still would not find any tasks to install even though it had the advertisement in it. Also, we tried to import the computer which we would not like to do since we would like to be able to send the laptop straight from dell to one of our plants and then just have them insert the cd to image the computer, but that failed. If you have a guide on how to do this from start to finish that would be great, I'm sorry for the long questions, let me know what you would need from me. Thank you.

Hello, We are in the process of upgrading our SMS from 2003 to SCCM 2007 and we want to be able to deploy Computer images out to our plants. Now in our old SMS 2003 we had the packages created and then the user would just insert a bootable cd and it would pull down the image from the SMS server and install it on the new/old computer. Now we did not use PXE boot in 2003 and I was wondering if there is a way to do it in 2007 so that we do not need to use PXE? So far I created the image I want on my test computer and I was able to capture that and add it to the Operating System Images. Then from there I created a new Task to install an existing image package. From there I created an Advertisement and added to the collection that we created called Image Deployment Test. Created Bootable media. Updated Distribution Point. Booted the laptop up with the bootable media. Then when I click Next it says that "Failed to Run Task Sequence" then below that it says "There are no task sequences available for this computer." This is where I'm stuck now. The laptop does show up in the All System collection. Any help would be great. Laptop: Dell E6510 OS: Windows XP with SP3
