Deploy OS without PXE or boot media

Question

Hi,

 

is it possible to deploy a new os without booting from pxe or cd image?

Why i ask, is, that i don't want to set the boot order still the hole pc lifetime on pxe first boot priority. And i don't want to change the boot order every time i deploy a new os.

 

So is there a change to boot from the installed windows os directly in the bootpe environment to deploy the new image to the computer ?

 

What is your best practise for the os deployment?

 

Kind regards

Hi,

Yes you can advertise the OSD Task Sequence and initiate it from a working SCCM client no problem, it will download the WinPe boot image locally and use that when it reboots.

If a computer however have an OS that doesn't work I normally press F12 to initiate the pxe-boot or the end-user, or PC technican. Then you don't have to change the boot order.

Regards,

Jörgen

Jorgen, I have a similar question.

 

Scenario:

Centralized data center with a single SCCM site.

Multiple remote locations with a single domain controller at each location which is also an SCCM Distribution Point.

 

Need:

Reimage existing computers at these remote sites.

 

Question:

What is required at the remote distribution point for the remote computers to be reimaged?

Do I need to have the remote servers as PXE service points and WDS or can I push a Task Sequence to the remote computer and have it pull the image from the remote Distribution Point?

 

Thanks!

Gary
