Created reference image in MDT 2010 and want to carry over to SCCM 2007

[zcaa0g]

Greetings,

 

I can tell the guides are well written, but one part I am not sure about is taking an image created in MDT 2010 and carrying it over to SCCM for deployment there.

 

So basically, this is what I have done.

 

1. Created a LiteTouch ISO based on Windows 7 Enterprise x64 in MDT 2010.

2. Booted that LiteTouch ISO in VirtualBox (it's a fully unattended OS install and joins to a workgroup since I am using it as a reference image)

3. Then I create a WIM image of the end result from Step #2.

 

So now I would like to take this WIM image into SCCM 2007 to be deployed from there and have it join the domain, handle the drivers for multiple machien types there, etc. So is there a guide for this scenario? Does anything need to be prepped for the MDT 2010 reference image before bringing it into SCCM? I don't want to task sequences carried over from MDT 2010 to SCCM 2007 because everything was already done in the image in terms of configuration and application install. With the exception of handling the drivers and joining the domain, which I would want o handle in SCCM 2007. Perhaps I just looked in the wrong area, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

There is nothing special you have to do, you can just import the MDT created image in SCCM and then deploy it as any other image.

Thank you sir! Just one quick question in regards to that. Do I need to run SysPrep on the reference image and then create the WIM and then bring it into SCCM? Or can SysPrep be skipped and handled within SCCM via the ConfigMGR taksk sequences that are set up? I'm assuming SysPrep needs to be ran on the reference image, but I just wanted to confirm.

I believe you have to sysprep before you capture. At least that how I do it since sms 2003 days.

 

There's a step you can add during the Task Sequence to use a different sysprep file but I never played around with that.

 

I still build the images the old way and imagex to capture then import it.
