So Anyweb asked me in this post to describe where and how i would used this in one of my task Sequences. I will use a current Windows 7 LAB in vNEXT to describe this. Now its not perfect as its currently under construction. The purpose of this LAB is to dynamically provision VM's in Citrix XenDesktop and to add these Desktops to the Pooled Desktop.
For the purposes of this however we will limit the scope to just building and provisioning the vDesktop, without any Backend Infra or adding the vDesktop to Citrix.
You will need to create Two (2) Packages for these scripts to be distributed. I used to dynamically update the scripts from the source since they are so small, however i find this just as quick in SCCM 2012/vNEXT.
Firstly we install our Runtimes and Frameworks like Java, Silverlight, etc. I have just included the command lines here as normally we will copy the data locally to the PC, STORE a COPY and then run a VBS file to do the installation. this is helpfull for troubleshooting and allowing SLOWLINK re-installation and repairs of packages. However in this LAB everthing will be in the DC so speed and data transfers are of no consequence.
After these are completed we begin installing software, We are only going to install Adobe, Lync Client and Office 2010. Again i have included only command lines so you can see how it is done, and the methods are generally the same throughout.
Next we begin customizing the WIM FILE. This is where we copy the scripts and start running them. This looks like a small amount of things that happens here however it is quite substantial and we are in the process of moving everything to powershell from vbscript. We still utilize .cmd files to launch most of the tools as its easier to track the process with multiple open windows.

I cannot provided this file as it is very proprietary. Basically it connects to your WSUS Server and downloads the mandatory updates , downloads and installs.
That's the Basics of building our image upto the point of Capturing... once sysprep kicks in we run a heap of other things, but you'll be able to figure out what and where in the next part. Another week or so and i'll get it up.
I have included the .ZIP of all the reg files, but these should be customized to what you wish to setup. Yes, we use GPO to apply alot of this also, however alot of this is easily locked into the image so we do.
So Anyweb asked me in this post to describe where and how i would used this in one of my task Sequences. I will use a current Windows 7 LAB in vNEXT to describe this. Now its not perfect as its currently under construction. The purpose of this LAB is to dynamically provision VM's in Citrix XenDesktop and to add these Desktops to the Pooled Desktop.
For the purposes of this however we will limit the scope to just building and provisioning the vDesktop, without any Backend Infra or adding the vDesktop to Citrix.
You will need to create Two (2) Packages for these scripts to be distributed. I used to dynamically update the scripts from the source since they are so small, however i find this just as quick in SCCM 2012/vNEXT.
PACKAGE 1: Customized Build Scripts.
The folder Structure is as Follows:
PRESETUP
POSTSETUP
TOOLS
CLEANUPSCRIPTS
PACKAGE 2: Customized Deploy Scripts (GoProduction)
The folder Structure is as Follows:
(To be Attached later)
The TASK SEQUENCE.
As you can See its mostly just standard, but down the bottom is where we start running commands.
BUILD Windows 7 ENT for VDI Image.xml
Begin:
Firstly we install our Runtimes and Frameworks like Java, Silverlight, etc. I have just included the command lines here as normally we will copy the data locally to the PC, STORE a COPY and then run a VBS file to do the installation. this is helpfull for troubleshooting and allowing SLOWLINK re-installation and repairs of packages. However in this LAB everthing will be in the DC so speed and data transfers are of no consequence.
After these are completed we begin installing software, We are only going to install Adobe, Lync Client and Office 2010. Again i have included only command lines so you can see how it is done, and the methods are generally the same throughout.
Next we begin customizing the WIM FILE. This is where we copy the scripts and start running them. This looks like a small amount of things that happens here however it is quite substantial and we are in the process of moving everything to powershell from vbscript. We still utilize .cmd files to launch most of the tools as its easier to track the process with multiple open windows.
